GUANTANAMO BAY U.S. NAVAL BASE, Cuba (Reuters) - Secrecy disputes disrupted a pre-trial hearing on Thursday in the Guantanamo U.S. war crimes tribunal for five prisoners charged with plotting the September 11 hijacked plane attacks in 2001.

Defence attorneys said the audio feed to the spectators' gallery had briefly been cut, as was the feed that provides Arabic-to-English translation to the defendants, who include the alleged mastermind of the attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
