Bin Laden’s Driver Convicted in First Guantanamo War Crimes Trial….

GUANTANAMO BAY U.S. NAVAL BASE, Cuba, Aug 6 (Reuters) – A jury of U.S. military officers convicted Osama bin Laden’s driver on charges of providing material support for terrorism on Wednesday but acquitted him on charges of providing material support for al Qaeda in the first U.S. war crimes trial since World War Two.
The case of Yemeni driver Salim Hamdan , who faces life in prison, is the first full test of the controversial Guantanamo tribunal authorized by the Bush administration to try non-U.S. captives on terrorism charges outside the regular civilian and military courts.
