Abu Zubaydah, held 20 years at Guantanamo without charges, faces review board hearing in Cuba
Abu Zubaydah, held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for 20 years without charges, appeared at a Periodic Review Board hearing on Thursday. The U.S. government official said he probably served as one of Osama bin Laden's trusted facilitators, but his lawyers argued he was never an al-Qaida member. They cited his torture and injuries, and said he is willing to accept monitoring if released. The board will decide if he can be transferred.
