Military prosecutors filed charges Friday against a Sudanese detainee at Guantanamo Bay who is accused of running a training camp for terrorists in Afghanistan in the late 1990s.
He is the 16th detainee charged under the current system at the Guantanamo detention center. The trials would be first US war-crimes tribunals since World War II, but so far, none of the cases have gone to court.
According to the charges, Noor Uthman Muhammed was a member of al-Qaida, trained at a camp in Afghanistan and later become a weapons instructor. From 1996 to 2000 he was deputy commander of the camp, where he oversaw its operations.
