US general barred from Guantanamo Bay trial
15/8/08
A military judge barred a US general yesterday from further involvement in the war crimes trial of a young Afghan prisoner at Guantanamo Bay, the second time the legal adviser has been blocked from a case. The judge also ordered that the attempted murder charges against defendant Mohammed Jawad, 23, be sent back to the overseer of the tribunals for revalidation. But the judge denied a defense request to dismiss all charges against Jawad, who is accused of throwing a grenade into a US military jeep at a bazaar in Kabul in December 2002, wounding two US soldiers and their Afghan interpreter.
