Canada body-parts murder victim identified
GUANTANAMO, Cuba, Feb. 5 (UPI) -- Three high profile detainees at Cuba's Guantanamo Bay are to face charges under a new trial system approved by the U.S. Congress, The Daily Telegraph said.
Chief prosecutor Colonel Morris Davies recently issued charges against Australian David Hicks, Canadian Omar Khadr and Osama Bin Laden's driver Salim Hamdan that they will face under a U.S. Military Commission, the London newspaper said.
While many lawyers have condemned the Military Commission for its lack of appropriate domestic justice, the recently approved panel will hear the cases of up to 80 Guantanamo detainees starting in April.
Both Hicks and Khadr have been charged with attempted murder, and the former Canadian jihadist also was accused of killing a U.S. soldier back in 2002.
Meanwhile, Hamdan has been charged with conspiracy to make war and all three of the detainees will also be charged with material support for terrorism, the Telegraph reported.
The newspaper said in preparation for the start of the controversial trial system officials at Guantanamo Bay have been working to improve conditions at the detention facility.
