The defense rested for the first war crimes trial at Guantanamo Bay concerning the driver for Osama bin Laden, Salim Hamdan.
The U.S. government charges Hamdan with collaborating with al-Qaida during its zenith prior to the Sept. 11 attacks. He stands accused of providing material support to a terrorist organization, namely al-Qaida. He is also alleged to have received weapons training in Afghanistan and transported "one or more SA-7 surface-to-air missiles" to be used against American forces.
Hamdan admits to serving as bin Laden's driver, but denies working for al-Qaida.
Defense lawyers produced written statements from self-professed Sept-11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed who said Hamdan was more of a mechanic than a mission executor.
