Two Malaysians and Hambali score 'small victory' in Guantanamo Bay terrorism trial


PETALING JAYA: Two Malaysians and an Indonesian currently detained at Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba have scored a minor victory in their terrorism trial as the court has accepted their claim that their Bahasa Malaysia and Indonesian interpreters were biased and incompetent.

During the arraignment on Aug 30 and last year, Malaysians Mohammed Nazir Lep and Mohammed Farik Amin alongside Indonesian Encep Nurjaman - more commonly known as Hambali - had refused entering a plea and cited their interpreters as displaying bias and incompetence, saying that this resulted in inaccurate translations.
