US charges David Hicks

Edited on Fri Feb-02-07 09:24 PM by cal04

GUANTANAMO BAY prisoner, Adelaide-born David Hicks has been charged with terrorism related offences - five years after being detained.

Two charges have been laid including providing material support for terrorism and attempted murder in violation of the law of war.

His father Terry Hicks said yesterday he didn't understand the charges.

Hicks's US military lawyer, Major Michael Mori, has questioned why his client has been charged with attempted murder when even the chief prosecutor agrees Hicks never fired a shot at anyone in Afghanistan.

1. Doesn't Australia have a problem with him being "tried" under the joke military tribunal?
