MIAMI, June 3 (Reuters) - Osama bin Laden's driver will again face
a U.S. war crimes tribunal at the Guantanamo naval base on Monday,
nearly a year after his Supreme Court challenge succeeded in
scrapping the first tribunal system.

A young Canadian captured in a firefight in Afghanistan at age 15
also is scheduled for a second arraignment on Monday in a courtroom
at the remote U.S. naval base in eastern Cuba.

Both were arraigned in the original version of the tribunals, which
were aborted by the court's ruling, and now they face additional
charges. The potential penalty for the men is the same -- life
imprisonment.

Both are charged with conspiracy and providing material support for
terrorism. Khadr also is charged with murder, attempted murder and
spying, for allegedly conducting surveillance of U.S. military
convoys in Afghanistan.
