Lawyers for Ramzie ben al-Shaibah, one of five men accused of masterminding the September 11, 2001 attacks, have asked a federal appeals court to halt all judicial proceedings at a detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

They also have asked the appeals court in Washington to invalidate special military tribunals set up by the administration of former president George W. Bush to try terrorism cases.
