Hamdan says he will boycott the GITMO trial. Date published: 4/28/2008 GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) - Osama bin Laden's former driver has become the latest detainee at Guantanamo Bay to refuse to participate in his war-crimes trial. The case against Salim Ahmed Hamdan of Yemen is scheduled to be the first to reach trial at the U.S. Navy base in southeast Cuba next month. But his decision to boycott could prolong a process already delayed by legal challenges. At a pretrial hearing Monday, Hamdan said he would not participate in the trial and he does not want the help of his defense lawyers. He said he felt no hope of justice after more than six years in confinement. The judge, Navy Capt. Keith Allred, tried to persuade Hamdan to reconsider and ordered a recess without consulting the detainee further.
