Guantanamo detainee taken before US military commission

A US military commission began a pre-trial hearing today for a Yemeni man charged with conspiracy and who served as Osama bin Laden’s bodyguard.

Two US soldiers guided Ali Hamza Ahmad Sulayman al Bahlul into the courtroom on this military base on the eastern tip of Cuba, where some 500 people captured in the US war on terror are detained.
