A U.S. military judge canceled six days of hearings scheduled to begin tomorrow in a case against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other accused terrorists as a tropical storm approached Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where the legal arguments were to be heard.
Citing “a concern for the safety and welfare of all personnel,” Army Colonel James Pohl canceled the hearing for Mohammed, the accused mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and four others. The hearing was scheduled for this week and early next week.
