The State Department announced Wednesday that it has added two people to the federal list of designated terrorists, one of whom was once detained at Guantanamo Bay military prison.
Ayrat Nasimovich Vakhitov, one of the newly added jihadists, was a former detainee at Guantanamo for less than two years from June 2002 until February 2004 before being turned over to Russian officials in his home country.
Turkish authorities recently arrested Vahkitov in connection with the June 29 suicide bombings at Istanbul’s Ataturk airport that killed 42 people. While no group has claimed responsibility for the attack, U.S. and Turkish authorities have said the coordinated effort was likely the work of the Islamic State.
The State Department does not mention Vahkitov’s connection to the Istanbul attack in its designation or his past detainment at Guantanamo Bay. The department said he is associated with a Syrian-based terrorist group that has partially folded into ISIS. The rest of its members have sworn allegiance to Jabhat al-Nusra, al-Qaeda’s official branch in Syria.

Everyone in the State Dept is an Enemy of the
American people
They willingly disobey the US Constitution,

willing lie to the American people,
as they support EVERY TERRORIST and SLAVER group

This must be the catch, release, catch program.
This Vakhitov guy is an imam and he is the guy who claimed that Gitmo guards regularly desecrated the Quran by dumping the book into a toilet...
His nonsense was reported by Newsweek as fact and it sparked demonstrations and riots in which resulted in a number of deaths. By the time Newsweek retracted the claim the damage was already done.
