Sirhan Bishara Sirhan (born March 19, 1944) assassinated Senator Robert F. Kennedy on June 5, 1968 by shooting him just minutes after he had won the California presidential primary election.

 Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan & 9/11: foreknowledge of an attack? | Northeast Intelligence Network
The bottom line is that Sirhan Bishara Sirhan has been incarcerated for the last 30-plus years and has substantial Middle Eastern connections that existed before and concurrent with the attacks of 9/11.

Sirhan claims that allowing his case to be decided by a judge in the same Los Angeles courthouse as U.S. District Judge William Matthew Byrne, who was a prosecutor during his trial, is unfair.
Sirhan also claims he was denied the right to unconflicted and effective assistance of counsel because attorney Grant Cooper was rendered "ineffective and became a de facto state agent" after a prosecutor found him in possession of stolen federal grand jury transcripts in another case.
Lawrence Teeter, Sirhan's lawyer, alleged Tuesday that Cooper talked to Byrne about the stolen transcripts before advising Sirhan to plead guilty, and failed to present evidence that Sirhan was in a "hypnotic trance" when the June 5, 1968, shooting occurred in the kitchen at the Ambassador Hotel.

Sirhan himself was so disoriented following his arrest that he did not even know he had yet to be arraigned.

Sirhan protested and told his lawyers, “Have you ever heard the Arab side of the story?…I mean on the TV, the radio, in the mass media?…That’s what bugs me! There’s no Arab voice in America, and goddamn it, I’m gonna show ‘em in that courtroom.
Sirhan believed President Kennedy “was going to put pressure on Israel….to help the refugees…he was killed and it never happened.” But Sirhan reserved his burning contempt for Robert Kennedy, who he believed had made statements in support of Israel that went beyond any expressed by the other presidential candidates.
Sirhan became a defacto member of the organisation which, purportedly, had been set up to assist Arab students in adjusting to academic life away from home but in reality it was more politically active than its mission statement professed.
