US challenged to lay fresh charges against Hicks
6:21 PM January 11
The military lawyer for Guantanamo Bay detainee David Hicks is challenging the US authorities to come up with new charges for his client.
The call comes as the Chief Military Prosecutor at Guantanamo Bay says Hicks will be one of the first terrorist suspects to be tried after the new military commission structure is unveiled.
The Australian terrorism suspect has been held in Guantanamo Bay since 2002 without being charged.
Colonel Moe Davis says the prosecution will argue that Hicks was a hardened Al Qaeda operative who was prepared to fight US forces in Afghanistan.
But lawyer Major Michael Mori says there is nothing new in the allegations against his client.
"Two of those charges were thrown out by the Supreme Court and the other one was dropped from the new Military Commission Act," he said.
"I'd really love to see some fresh charges laid against David and I'd love to challenge them in a real legal system, which unfortunately, I won't get."
