GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba, April 11 (UPI) -- Prosecutors and defense lawyers for a Canadian terror detainee at Guantanamo clashed Friday over classified documents and an undetermined future trial date.
Defense attorneys for Omar Khadr accused the prosecution of intentionally preventing them from seeing classified documents they said would aid in their client's case.
Khadr was captured in July 2002 and was accused of using a grenade to kill a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, government prosecutors for the military tribunal alleged the Khadr lawyers were stalling the proceedings with numerous motions and calls for continuances in hopes of reaching a "political solution" -- an allusion to the likely closure of the detainee facility in Cuba after the election of a new U.S. president this November.
