Hicks denies son trained as terrorist


Terry Hicks, the father of Australian Guantanamo Bay detainee David Hicks, admits his son may have received military training with Al Qaeda but not terrorist training.
Terry Hicks stood inside a wire cage near Broadway, one of Manhattan's busiest streets, to highlight the conditions he says his son is experiencing at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
Mr Hicks is meeting with US lawyers to discuss plans for his son's trial.
David Hicks has not been charged yet but is one of six detainees being considered for the first military tribunals.
