自爆犯はGuantánamoに、言う米国をいた
によって Ewen MacAskill | 米国国防総省はクウェ-ト人が前にGuantánamo湾で米国の収容所から3年先月遂行したイラクの自爆攻撃を解放したことを昨日確認した。 前Guantánamoの抑留者の介入はそれをずっとキューバのキャンプの複合体で残りの囚人の解放のために戦っている英本国のために困難にする、および米国の人権弁護士。
Abdallah SalihのAlAjmiおよび2つは家族によって他のKuwaitisモースルのイラクの保安部隊の攻撃、強い戦いの場面である北都市に加わるために報告される。
家族が日付を指定しなかったが、7人は4月26日にモースルの自爆攻撃で殺された。
抑留者の人権弁護士の要求は最も解放されたら米国の軍隊は彼らを示し、危険を戦いを始める要求するが、無実である。
米国の軍隊は彼の解放に反対した、言彼が継続危険を示したが、クウェートへの移動の後で放されたこと危険があった。
米国中央命令のためのスポークスマン、スコットライ米国海軍司令官は、彼が自爆攻撃の後ろの動機を知らなかったAP通信を言った。
、前のクウェ-トの兵士は老化したニューヨークおよびワシントン州の9/11の攻撃の後の2001年に一般的な広がりの一部としてGuantánamoに、Ajmi 30連れて行かれた。
彼は、彼が繰り返し否定した充満のTalibanとの戦い訴えられた。
彼はGuantánamoから2005年にクウェートに移った。 Guantánamoで得られた疑わしい証拠はテロリスト関係した充満の彼そして4他を放免したクウェ-ト裁判所で許可されなかった。
彼がモースルの攻撃を遂行したことAbdallahの友人が家族を知らせたこと彼のいとこ、AlArabiyaのテレビに最後の木曜日を言われるサレムのAlAjmi。
「私達は私達がイラクの殉教者Abdallahの友人の1人から呼出しによって…今日の午後受け取ったと苦痛なニュースによって衝撃を与えられた」、サレムは言った。
Ajmiは2週消え、彼の家族はシリアのイラクに旅するjihadistsのための規則的な運輸ポイントのために前に彼をクウェート不法に残学んだ。
彼はイラクから彼の妻にメッセージを送った。 彼にGuantánamoからの解放の後で息子がいた。
Ajmi’s cousin said that he had given no indication that he was planning to leave Kuwait to join the insurgency in Iraq, though he had become more withdrawn recently.
The US military claimed he had deserted the Kuwaiti armed forces to fight with the Taliban for eight months in 2001 against the Northern Alliance, which after 9/11 was backed by the US.
As the Northern Alliance took Kabul with US help, Ajmi is alleged to have fled south to Tora Bora and was captured attempting to cross into Pakistan. He insisted he had gone to Pakistan to memorise the Koran, had never been in Afghanistan and had never heard of Tora Bora.
There are 275 detainees at Guantánamo, down from a high of 775. The US commander at the camp, Rear Admiral Mark Buzby, said in February that he expected about 80 to go on trial. Of the remainder, 80 have already been cleared for release but cannot find a country that will take them. The others are awaiting clearance.
The Democratic and Republican candidates to replace President George Bush in January next year have promised to close the camp.
The case against Ajmi in Kuwait collapsed after the court ruled that alleged testimony from Guantánamo was inadmissible because he had not signed it.
The presence of Kuwaiti foreign fighters and suicide bombers in Iraq is rare. While 90% of suicide bombers have been foreigners, Kuwaitis have comprised less than 1% of foreign fighters in Iraq.
The first hearing at a new court complex at Guantánamo yesterday suffered a technical glitch. Journalists watching proceedings from behind a glass panel had no sound.
The case being heard was of a Yemeni, Ali Hamza Ahmad Sulayman al-Bahlul, who is accused of serving Osama bin Laden as a bodyguard and al-Qaida recruiter.
The US military spent US$12m (£6m) on the new court complex. After the sound was sorted, there was a power failure and the lights went out. When sound and light was restored, Bahlul declined to enter a plea. He held up a sign saying he was boycotting the court and refused to distance himself from bin Laden and al-Qaida.
Charges are pending against 14 prisoners in the special court set up to try captives the US considers to be unlawful enemy combatants who do not merit trial in civilian and military courts.
