Lawyers for a Canadian terror suspect accused the U.S. government of blocking their access to evidence and attempting to rush his trial to validate embattled war-crime tribunals at Guantanamo Bay.

Omar Khadr's lead attorney, Navy Lt. Cmdr. William Kuebler, said Thursday he has not been permitted to interview several witnesses in his defense of the former child soldier accused of killing a U.S. Special Forces soldier in Afghanistan.

He said an unidentified U.S. government employee's eyewitness account of the firefight in 2002 could prove Khadr is not an 'unlawful enemy combatant,' which is required for him to face trial on this U.S. Navy base. But he was clearly angry that prosecutors did not tell him about the classified information until Tuesday _ more than five years after Khadr's capture. Read more

An Australian once held as a suspected terrorist by the U.S. military at Guantanamo Bay has lost a legal bid to regain his passport after a tribunal ruled he posed a security threat, his lawyer said Friday.

Egyptian-born Sydney resident Mamdouh Habib, 51, appealed Foreign Minister Alexander Downer's decision to cancel his Australian passport after he was released without charge from the U.S. naval base in Cuba and returned home in January 2005.

But the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, which decides public appeals against federal bureaucrats' decisions, agreed with an Australian secret service assessment that Habib 'would be likely to engage in conduct that might prejudice the security of Australia or of a foreign country' if he were allowed to travel.
