A federal judge questioned the motives of Justice Department lawyers for withdrawing allegations linking a detainee in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to a "dirty bomb" plot in the U.S. shortly before they were required to give the defense exculpatory evidence.
"That raises serious questions in this court's mind about whether those allegations were ever true," said U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan, who is overseeing a lawsuit brought by Binyam Mohammed, 30, a resident of Britain.
