Gitmo war court back in session minus 3 defendants
The military tribunal for the Sept. 11 terrorism case resumed Tuesday without three of the five defendants, the result of a judge's ruling that the men could not be forced to attend the session.Among those who chose to sit out the second day of a weeklong pretrial hearing is the main defendant, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. A Navy commander, whose name was not released by the court, said the self-professed terrorist mastermind was taken from his prison cell at the U.S. base in Cuba to a holding cell outside the courtroom. He then chose at the last minute to boycott the hearing. Posted by: tipper 2012-10-16 |
