GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba - A U.S. military judge has denied motions to delay the arraignments of five Guantanamo detainees suspected of mounting the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Marine Col. Ralph Kohlmann says the military commission finds that the interests of justice will be best served by completing the arraignments on June 5.

In the ruling, Kohlmann says the case is complicated but it is "precisely because of the anticipated complexity of this case that it is important that the process get under way."
