A U.S. military judge presiding over the Guantánamo tribunal of USS Cole bombing suspect Abd al-Nashiri is barring both the public and the suspect himself from attending a secret pretrial hearing today. Army Colonel James Pohl said information being discussed at the hearing could cause “grave damage to national security” if revealed. Al-Nashiri could face the death penalty for allegedly plotting the 2000 bombing that killed 17 sailors on a U.S. warship.
