President Bush nominated former federal judge Michael Mukasey as the next U.S. attorney general. Mary Jo White, former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, has prosecuted terrorism cases before Mukasey, including the case against Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, who was convicted for his role in the 1993 plot to attack New York landmarks, including the World Trade Center.
