Ex-Gitmo prisoner commits suicide attack
Iraqi security forces were the apparent target in last week's blast
The Associated Press, Wed., May. 7, 2008
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - The U.S. military confirmed Wednesday that a former Guantanamo detainee from Kuwait carried out a recent suicide attack in northern Iraq.
A spokesman for U.S. military's Central Command told The Associated Press that Abdallah Salih al-Ajmi took part in an attack in Mosul.
U.S. Navy Cmdr. Scott Rye said authorities don't know the motive for the attack, which was reported last week by Dubai-based Al-Arabiya television. Iraqi security forces were apparently targeted.
The U.S. transferred al-Ajmi to Kuwaiti custody from Guantanamo in 2005. A Kuwaiti court later acquitted him of terrorism charges.
I can’t decided if the White House has simply done a superb job of keeping a lid on all the details of Jenna’s wedding this weekend, or if the press is just pretending it isn’t happening. I mean, after all, a traditional, quiet, family wedding just isn’t in keeping with the gaudy weddings the celebrity press gushes over. And, a respectable, religious ceremony with real vows out of the public eye is not the sort of event they had hoped the Bad Boy Prez’s Bad Girl might have.
