marlboro.jpgAPA pack of Marlboro cigarettesPhilip Morris USA, the nation's largest tobacco company, said Thursday it has filed federal lawsuits accusing 10 New York and New Jersey retailers of selling counterfeit Marlboro cigarettes.

The company, owned by Richmond, Va.-based Altria Group Inc., said the New York area is fertile for cigarette smugglers because of the combination of high federal, state and local taxes.

During the past few years, increased taxes on cigarettes have given rise to counterfeit or black market cigarettes. In New York City, a pack of Marlboro cigarettes can cost more than $10.

Philip Morris is asking the court to ban the retailers — small grocery stores and delis — from purchasing, distributing or selling counterfeit Marlboro cigarettes. It also is asking for companies to turn over their profits from the illegal cigarettes, along with punitive damages and attorney's fees.

The company said the suits are part of several recent actions to protect its trademarks.

Since May 2009, Philip Morris said it has filed such lawsuits against 27 stores in New York and New Jersey.

Marlboro is the top-selling cigarette brand in the U.S.

    Critics of Holder's decision — mostly Republicans — have argued the trial will give Mohammed a world stage to spout hateful rhetoric.

    In his prepared remarks, Holder said such concerns are misplaced, because judges can control unruly defendants and any pronouncements by Mohammed would only make him look worse.

    "I have every confidence the nation and the world will see him for the coward he is," Holder says in a written version of his remarks obtained by The Associated Press. "I'm not scared of what (Mohammed) will have to say at trial — and no one else needs to be either."

    Holder says the public and the nation's intelligence secrets can be protected during a public trial in civilian court.

    "We need not cower in the face of this enemy," Holder says. "Our institutions are strong, our infrastructure is sturdy, our resolve is firm, and our people are ready."

    Holder announced Friday that five accused Sept. 11 conspirators currently held at the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, will be transferred to federal court in Manhattan to face trial — just blocks from the site of the former World Trade Center.

    Five other suspects, Holder said, will be sent to face justice before military commissions in the United States, though a location for those commissions has not yet been determined.

    The actual transfer of the suspects to New York is still many weeks away. The transfers are a key step in Obama's pledge to close the detention center at Guantanamo, which currently houses some 215 detainees. The administration is not expected to meet its January deadline to shutter the facility.

    The president echoed Holder's comments about the New York trial.

    "I think this notion that we have to be fearful that these terrorists possess some special powers that prevent us from presenting evidence against them, locking them up and exacting swift justice, I think that has been a fundamental mistake," Obama said in an interview with CNN.

    In addition to the 10 detainees named Friday, Holder is expected to send others to trials and commission
