What happened
An Army judge at the Guantanamo Bay military commission ruled that Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri is competent to stand trial, rejecting a defence claim that torture and his conditions had left him unfit. Jury selection is scheduled to start on 2 November and could take weeks, with about 200 service members expected to be brought to the base in groups. The case is the first capital case before the commission.
