Guantanamo set for terror suspect hearings

Four suspected al-Qaida fighters will be formally charged with war crimes this week as the US military opens the first legal hearings for foreign prisoners held at the US Navy base Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.

The four terror suspects to be arraigned are an alleged al-Qaida accountant, a poet who is accused of crafting terrorist propaganda, a man who drove and protected Osama bin Laden, and an Australian who fought with Afghanistan’s ousted Taliban.
