Charges Dismissed Against Five Guantanamo Detainees

The Defense Department announced today that the Office of Military 
Commissions Convening Authority, Judge Susan Crawford, has dismissed 
without prejudice the pending charges against five detainees who had 
charges sworn by prosecutors -- Noor Uthman Mohammed, Binyam Mohammed, 
Sufyiam Barhoumi, Ghassan Abdullah al Sharbi, and Jabran Said Bin al 
Qahtani. 
 
Dismissed without prejudice, means the government can raise the charges 
again at a later time. The Chief Prosecutor, Army Col Lawrence Morris, 
recently appointed new trial teams who will review all available material, 
coordinate with intelligence agencies and recommend appropriate courses of 
action in each case.
