MIAMI -- Joint Task Force-Guantanamo announced today that a detainee died of apparent natural causes late Tuesday evening. The detainee is identified as Awal Gul, a 48-year-old Afghan. He arrived at Guantanamo in October 2002.
Gul was housed in Camp 6, which provides communal living areas for up to 20 detainees. He collapsed in the shower after exercising on an elliptical machine. Other detainees in his cell block then assisted Gul to the guard station for medical attention. The guards immediately alerted medical personnel, who upon arriving at the cell block found him unresponsive. He was immediately transported to the Camp 6 medical bay, and subsequently transferred to the U.S. Naval Hospital Guantanamo Bay. After extensive lifesaving measures had been exhausted, the detainee was pronounced dead.
Per standard procedure, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service has initiated an investigation of the incident to determine the cause and manner of the death.
The remains of the deceased detainee are being treated with the utmost respect. A Muslim chaplain is assisting the Joint Task Force to ensure that the remains are handled in a culturally sensitive and religiously appropriate manner. The remains will be autopsied by a pathologist from the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. Upon completion of the autopsy, the remains will be prepared for repatriation.
Awal Gul was an admitted Taliban recruiter and commander of a military base in Jalalabad. While in Jalalabad, Awal Gul associated with senior members of Hezb-e-Islami Khalis and operated an al-Qaida guesthouse. Gul also admitted to meeting with Usama Bin Laden and providing him with operational assistance on several occasions.
Joint Task Force Guantanamo continues to provide safe, humane, legal, and transparent care and custody of detainees. This mission is being performed professionally by the men and women of Joint Task Force Guantanamo.
Fyi
Well, another mouth we don’t have to feed!
Much better...
“He collapsed in the shower after exercising on an elliptical machine”
Rush is right - its a country club.
Bush does it again:
Exhausts the freedom fighter on the devils machine, then kills him with poisoned liquid.
Freedom fighter will be burried with all honors (by hungry dogs)!
oh .....aaaand, Oblabla farted, Halllelllujjjaaahhh!
Nobody expects the Gitmo Elliptical Machine!
One down more to go.
What did you expect...he probably ate goat meat every day of his life. Married one, too.
Happy trails mfer.
We need an investigation to determine if he was beaten to death by Eric Holder, at Obama’s direction.
The fact that any detainee is still alive is a horrific crime in itself. Shoot them all in the head and feed them to the sharks!
Get ready for the episode of NCIS where Gibbs and Abby prove that a poor helpless Gitmo inmate was murdered in a racist plot by fundamentalist Christians.
Headline under Bush:
“Gitmo detainee suffers massive heart attack after session on device meant to torture the human body!”
Because we all know that Islamist murderers always treat the remains of their victims with the utmost respect, in a culturally sensitive and religiously appropriate manner - so they are entitled to nothing less than that...
/s
It’s a unique form of torture where the victim is compelled to torture themselves.
Don’t you just love happy endings? We taxpayers no longer have to feed, clothe, house or medicate him, and he is now cavorting with his 72 virgins. The only thing that could make it better: His 72 virgins are all former Mother Superiors!
