AN AFGHAN detainee who was captured as a teenager has railed in court against the US military’s tribunal system and said he will boycott his trial, telling the judge: “Don’t bother me anymore.”

WITH one word — “unlawful” — the only two war-crimes trials against Guantanamo detainees fell apart in a single day, marking a stunning setback to Washington’s attempts to try dozens of detainees in their military courts.

Military judges have dismissed charges against a Guantanamo detainee who chauffeured Osama bin Laden and another who allegedly killed a US soldier in Afghanistan.

A military judge at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base today dismissed charges against Canadian detainee Omar Khadr, saying the matter is outside the jurisdiction of the military tribunal system.

The US military has filed murder charges against Omar Khadr, a Canadian who was a teenager when he was captured in Afghanistan and sent to the Guantanamo Bay prison in 2002.

A GUANTANAMO Bay prisoner accused of being a bodyguard for Osama bin Laden went before a US military tribunal yesterday to demand the right to act as his own attorney on war crimes charges.

Osama bin Laden likes poetry and volleyball, had squabbles with his children, and bans any American foods such as ice and soft drinks, according to a Canadian TV documentary on a family that had close ties to the al-Qaida leader until 2001.

A Canadian held at the US military jail at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba has been released and sent to Afghanistan.
