I was not aware you could Chauffeur a Donkey.... Osama bin Ladens chauffeur was arraigned today in the first US military commissions since the Second World War as the mans lawyer challenged the very basis of the hearings. Salim Ahmed Hamdan, a 34-year-old Yemeni, entered the pre-trial hearing without shackles or handcuffs, in a white flowing robe as he put on headphones to hear an Arabic interpreter. He appeared at ease, smiling and chuckling, even after conspiracy charges were explained a second time. Hamdan has said he earned a pittance for his family as Osama bin Ladens driver prior to the September 11 attack, but he has denied involvement in terrorism. US officials allege he served as the al-Qaida leaders bodyguard and delivered weapons to his operatives. Bin Laden Chauffeur Faces Guantanamo Tribunal |
