Ibrahim Ahmed Mahmoud al Qosi, one of four suspects at Guantanamo Bay charged with war crimes and the alleged accountant of Osama bin Laden, skipped a hearing Friday to review his detention status, which his attorney was barred from attending. It was not clear whether al Qosi's boycott was related to his attorney's restriction. Al-Qosi, who has been charged with working as an accountant for the al-Qaida chief and is scheduled for trial in December, was the 30th detainee to skip the proceedings, which have been criticized by some as unfair.

Al-Qosi's attorney, Air Force Lt. Col. Sharon Shaffer, said she was not informed when the hearing would take place and that she was kept from Guantanamo Bay for the past two weeks.
