KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- Hundreds of mourners, some chanting anti-American slogans, turned out Monday for the funeral of an Afghan prisoner at Guantanamo Bay who collapsed and died while exercising at the U.S. detention center last week.
The mourners ran alongside a vehicle carrying the body of 48-year-old Awal Gul - the seventh detainee to die at the detention center in Cuba since it was opened in January 2002.

Gee, how Awfal
This is so terrible! Terrible I tell you! It makes me want to cry. /s
Obama’s fault.
If he had kept his campaign promise; this would never have happened.
I'd prefer that they collapse and die while standing on a public platform with a rope around their necks.
I want to know why this entire event wasn’t cluster bombed.
time for the US to pull out.
Afghanistan is not our ally.
damned 2nd hand smoke got him.
The bloody hands of Obama are all over this affair.
WHEN, OH WHEN, WILL HIS FILTHY BLOODLUST BE SATISFIED?
Afghanistan is not our ally.
I know hindsight's always 20/20, but I do wish we'd have let the Soviets have their way in that benighted land.
This was terrible for him to die like that.
Some American GI likely had to towel up his bodily fluids where he dropped.
“I want to know why this entire event wasn’t cluster bombed.”
It would be so convenient to whack all of them at the cemetery.
How awful. He died in captivity. /s
Definitely Obama’s fault. If he had shut down Gitmo like he promised, this guy would have been alive and training terrorists in Pakistan by now.
Like the Liberal Democrates, taking political advantage at the death of one of their own.
No sympathy from me for the mourners....wonder how many were paid to mourn there.
The USA should not be holding long-term prisoners like this. It is not to our benefit and simply makes the USA a propoganda target. Rather, we should review and release those few who we can. The rest should be dead or should have never made it to Gitmo in the first place.
You always say the clever stuff I was going to say before I say it. And all I'm left with on any threat you get to before me is "Dittos".
Dittos.
Although in this case, the typo makes perfect sense too.
It IS terrible.
That the evil bastard died on a friggin EXERCISE machine, for crying out loud.
POS should have been SHOT.
