One of the most controversial cases in Gitmo’s history is coming to a head. According to the New York Times, a federal judge has given the Obama administration’s DOJ until today to decide if it is going to continue to defend the detention of Mohamed Jawad during Jawad’s habeas corpus hearing.

Jawad is accused of throwing a grenade at a vehicle carrying two American servicemen and their Afghan translator. While no one was killed in the December 17, 2002, attack in Kabul, all three riders were seriously wounded. U.S. and Afghan officials say that the attack was orchestrated by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar’s notorious al Qaeda-affiliated terrorist organization, the HIG (Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin). The government alleges that the HIG recruited Jawad, who was a teenager at the time, in Pakistan to carry out the attack.
