The guards will be criticized for stopping these pigs from killing themselves.

Guantanamo Prison Guards, Inmates Clash

Prisoners Clash With Guards Trying to Stop Detainee From Committing Suicide at Guantanamo Prison

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico May 19, 2006 (AP)— Prisoners wielding improvised weapons clashed with guards trying to stop a detainee from committing suicide at the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the military said Friday.

The fight occurred Thursday in a medium-security section of the camp as guards were responding to the fourth attempted suicide that day at the detention center on the U.S. Navy base, said Cmdr. Robert Durand.

Detainees used fans, light fixtures and other improvised weapons to attack the guards as they entered a communal living area to stop a prisoner who was trying to hang himself, Durand said.

Earlier in the day, three detainees in another part of the prison attempted suicide by swallowing prescription medicine they had been hoarding.

The detainees who took part in the clash with guards were moved to higher-security sections.

Those who attempted suicide received medical treatment, the military said. Their names were not released.

The incidents occurred on the same day the military transferred 15 Saudi detainees to their country, leaving about 460 detainees at Guantanamo.

There have been 39 suicide attempts at Guantanamo since the prison opened in January 2002, the military said. At least 12 were by Juma'a Mohammed al-Dossary, a 32-year-old from Bahrain.

Guantanamo Bay holds detainees suspected of links to al-Qaida or the Taliban.

Fox News reporting guards stopped prisoners from committing suicide and were attacked with improvised weapons. Prisonerrs fought guards with fans and light fixtures. Detainees involved in fight have been moved to another part of the prison.

One of the IR gunsight videos that is out there, has crew audio that includes something along the lines of "he's wearing a man-dress".

I hope that the guards "improvised" with good, ol' Ma Deuce.

Former Ambassador Ginsburg reported on FoxNews that some of the suicide attempts are likely inspired by the fact that a number of detainees are scheduled to be handed over to officials in their native country, Saudi Arabia. The fate they expect in Saudi Arabia is far worse than anything they have experienced at Gitmo, so suicide is viewed as an easy out for them.
