A US judge has ruled that the first war crimes trial at the Guantanamo Bay detention centre, involving Osama Bin Laden's former driver, can go ahead.
Judge James Robertson dismissed a claim from lawyers for Salim Hamdan that it should be stopped while he challenged the legality of the tribunal system.
The ruling came after a military judge at Guantanamo denied a postponement.
Last month, the US Supreme Court ruled detainees must be allowed to challenge their detention in civilian courts.
