Military terror trials 'imminent'

[rooboy]

THE first terrorism trial before a US military tribunal is fast approaching, the Defence Department's chief prosecutor for the planned trials said today.

"I think it's safe to say that our start is imminent, soon," said Colonel Frederic Borch, who oversees nine prosecutors in a Pentagon office set up to handle the upcoming trials. Borch, speaking to an American Bar Association gathering, would not be more specific.

Lawyers working with the Pentagon predict the first tribunal will take place at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where the US military is holding several hundred foreign prisoners picked up in the hunt for terrorists after September 11, 2001.

Plans have been in the works for such trials for nearly two years, but the White House has given no date for the first tribunal, nor specified who would be tried or where.
