Video of a weeping Canadian teenager being interviewed at Guantanamo Bay over the killing of a US soldier has been released.

The Pentagon urged interrogators at Guantanamo Bay to destroy handwritten notes in case they were called to testify about potentially harsh treatment of detainees, a military defence lawyer said.

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.

The Pentagon has released new details of allegations against three high-profile terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay in a move condemned by a defence lawyer as a tactic to inspire moral condemnation.

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.
