The FBI is under fire for its alleged handling of defense lawyers for the accused 9/11 terrorists, and the agents may be forced to testify about it in military war court at Guantanamo Bay, the Washington Free Beacon reports.
The news comes after court proceedings abruptly ended on Monday after defense lawyers said that at least two FBI special agents had tried to make a member of the defense an informant last week.
If true, it’s an egregious violation of the justice system and attorney-client privilege.
The defense team for the suspected organizers of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks said the FBI may have jeopardized the case.
It was the first court proceeding at Guantanamo since December.
