Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis has chosen an Army colonel with experience in handling terrorism cases -- dating back to the 1986 Berlin disco bombing -- to serve as chief judge of the Guantanamo war court, according to a document obtained by McClatchy.

Col. Douglas K. Watkins, 56, is currently handling hearings in the war crimes case against Guantanamo prisoner Majid Khan, a Baltimore-area high school graduate who was captured in Pakistan and held for years in CIA prisons. Khan has turned government witness and faces sentencing July 1.
