United States: Salim Hamdan and Omar Khadr to be tried before military commissions

On 24 April, charges of murder, attempted murder, conspiracy, providing material support to terrorism and spying were brought against Omar Khadr, a Canadian citizen who was still a minor when transferred to Guantánamo Bay in 2002. In early May, Salim Ahmed Hamdan was also referred to a military commission on charges of conspiracy and providing material support for terrorism. The trials are expected to start in June.
