Officials did not identify the agency that was monitoring court proceedings.

The men, in some cases, have been held for nearly 10 years, and the US government wants them tried as soon as possible.

Action on several motions has been pushed back, and chief prosecutor, Army Brigadier General Mark Martins, says there are lengthier and more difficult issues to solve before a trial date can be set.

“And although it is wearying, it's necessary that we do this. That as we move toward judgment, we do it in a way that is in accordance with our values. That's what we're going to do. That's what we all swear an oath to do and that's what we will do," he said.

The incident has reignited the debate among some victims' family members on whether the trial should be here at Guantanamo Bay or moved to a federal civilian court in the United States. With a law banning the transfer of the prisoners to the US, that is for now a moot point.
