The military also said Malaysian Mohammed Farik bin Amin Zubair was a member of an "al Qaeda suicide team" planning to attack a building in the United States, according to the transcript of hearings held March 13 and March 17. Zubair, one of the 14 suspects transferred to the Guantanamo detention center from secret CIA prisons last year, declined to make any statement when given the opportunity, the transcript of an unclassified portion of the hearings showed. But he asked questions about the U.S. military commissions, the Malaysian government's role in the U.S. coalition to fight terrorism and whether the Malaysian government could request his extradition. The U.S. Air Force colonel acting as president of the tribunal told Zubair he could not answer those questions and that they were not relevant to the current proceedings. The hearing, known as a combatant status review tribunal, is a one-time administrative process to determine whether detainees should be classified as "enemy combatants." If determined to be an enemy combatant, a detainee may face trial in a military commission or continue to be held without trial. U.S. officials have designated Zubair and the 13 others transferred from the CIA prisons as "high-value" suspects because their capture was believed to have a significant effect on al Qaeda operations, and because they are believed capable of providing high-quality intelligence. Some of them have confessed to involvement in attacks, including the September 11, 2001, attacks, the attack on the USS Cole in 2000 and the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings in Africa. The White House said the Guantanamo prison will likely remain open for the rest of President George W. Bush's term because it will take time to conduct the legal proceedings of the detainees there.
