The war court reopened for a one-or two-day period on September. Mohammed, whose age is not known, was captured in March 2002 by Pakistani security forces and US intelligence on a raid on a safe in house Faisalabad, Pakistan, that netted a so-called high-value captive now held at secret Guantanamo prison, Camp 7.

Mohamed has been charged with murder in violation of the laws of war, attacking civilians, and providing material support to terrorism, among

other acts allegedly committed between the years 1996 to 2002. He is charged with acting as a weapons instructor and deputy commander of the alleged terrorist training camp Khaldan, located in Afghanistan, and with allegedly delivering an “electronic device” to the Al-Qaeda training camp Jihad Wal in Afghanistan.

On Oc.t 21, 2008, one of the prosecutors on his case, Lt. Col. Darrel J. Vandeveld, resigned over concerns about the ethics of military commission procedures. His resignation led to the charges against Mohamed being dropped.

On Dec. 5, 2008, however, the charges against Mohamed were renewed.

A brief military commission hearing was held in Mohamed’s case on April 7, 2010 regarding whether his previous military defense counsel could continue to represent him after she had been ordered by the military to another assignment.

Also at the hearing, in response to the prosecution’s request to substitute classified evidence in the case, Judge Modzelewski stated that it could take until January or February 2011 to review it and begin the actual trial.

Mohamed’s defense attorney, Howard Cabot, after the hearing called it “plainly unacceptable... Noor has been here (in Guantanamo) for eight years now.”

The defense’s argument was that it had been seven years and seven months since Mohamed had been brought to Guantanamo Bay and one year and five months since Mohamed had been charged.

Mohamed has been described by JTF-GTMO counterterrorism analysts as being a senior leader of Al-Qaeda and providing weapons training to Al-Qaeda recruits and operatives in the Khaldan terrorist training camp.

There are currently no other cases before the war court.
