Ex-Guantanamo inmate in Iraq suicide bombing-TV

DUBAI, May 1 (Reuters) - A Kuwaiti man released from the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay in 2005 has carried out a suicide bombing in Iraq, his cousin told Al Arabiya television on Thursday.

A friend of Abdullah Saleh al-Ajmi in Iraq informed his family that Abdullah carried out the attack in Mosul, his cousin Salem told the Dubai-based television channel.

"We were shocked by the painful news we received this afternoon ... through a call from one of the friend's of martyr Abdullah in Iraq," said Salem al-Ajmi in a telephone interview aired by Arabiya.

He did not say when the suicide bombing happened.

Abdullah had been missing for two weeks and his family learned he left Kuwait illegally for Syria, he said. Abdullah had sent messages to his wife from Iraq.

Abdullah, 30, had a son after he was released from the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where the United States holds suspected terrorists, Salem said.

There were no indications Abdullah had any plans to join insurgents in Iraq although he became less sociable in the period before he disappeared, he said.

Many of the men held at Guantanamo were captured in Afghanistan in the U.S.-led war to oust the Taliban after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Many have been held for years and nearly all are being held without charge.

What is the total number so far of those released from Gitmo (including to other countries) that have returned to battle?

What is the percentage?

Well what should we expect? We haul some innocent shop keeper just trying to make a living selling pottery or goat soup and put panties on his head and ship him off to Guantanamo. Of course upon his release he is going to want revenge on the evil nation that took his innocence away. /s

Too bad he had the chance to pass along his genes to a son. Who I’m sure every day will be told of his father’s great “heroics” and will want to follow dear old dad’s career path.

I have to shake my head that after such an article, Woodward still as the gumption to use the quote marks:

-— Washington has designated Guantanamo prisoners “enemy combatants”. (Reporting by Inal Ersan; Editing by Robert Woodward) -—

I just hope the poor man was never tortured at Gitmo.

Thanks for posting this info. It counters the Leftist propaganda that these prisoners are just victims of “Islamophobia.” Liberals lie and innocent people die.

The death cult claims another life.

If he were in Guantanamo, he would be alive and well.

But, he wouldn't have done it if we hadn't held him without charges at Guantanamo.....

Do I really need a /liberalism /BDS tag?

There is no cure for child molesters, rabid dogs or terrorists.
