Guantanamo Bay (Cuba), Jul 01: The US, which is yet to decide the fate of Guantanamo Bay detention centre, has created one of the most high-tech military courts to try key terror suspects after taking a cue from a Canadian court which heard the Air India Kanishka bombing case.
The electronic equipment in “Courtroom No 2” is worth four million dollars, according to the US military here who put the total cost of the “multidefendant” court at 12 million dollars.
The large room was created to hold trials for five of the 9/11 hijackers but the hearings got stalled after President Barack Obama decided to transfer the trial to a federal court in 2009.
