Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (CNN) — There will be at least a 30-day delay in the case of Guantanamo detainee Omar Khadr due to the need for medical attention for his defense attorney, according to a lawyer for the Office of Military Commissions.

Lt. Col. Jon Jackson, who collapsed during testimony on Thursday, was transported from Cuba for medical attention, Deputy Chief Counsel Lt. Col. Bryan Broyles said.

Jackson’s collapse apparently is related to recent gall bladder surgery, and the seriousness of his condition is unknown, Broyles told CNN Thursday.
