FORT MEADE, Md. (Reuters) - A U.S. government investigation of attorneys for accused al Qaeda militants held at the military’s Guantanamo Bay detention centre in Cuba created a conflict of interest for the lawyers in representing their clients, the attorneys said on Sunday.

The dispute during a military court hearing threatened further delays in trials for the alleged conspirators, which have dragged on for nine years.
