O bombardeiro do Suicide estava em Guantánamo, diz E.U.
Por Ewen MacAskill | O Pentagon confirmou ontem que um Kuwaiti se liberou do acampamento de detention dos E.U. na baía de Guantánamo três anos há realizou um bombardeio do suicide em Iraq último mês. A participação de um detido ex-Guantánamo fará mais duro para advogados das direitas civis nos E.U. e no Grâ Bretanha, que têm lutado pela liberação dos prisioneiros restantes no complexo do acampamento em Cuba.
O al-Ajmi e dois de Abdallah Salih o outro Kuwaitis são relatados por suas famílias para ter feito exame da parte em um ataque em forças Iraqi da segurança em Mosul, uma cidade do norte que seja a cena da luta intensa.
Embora as famílias não especificassem uma data, sete povos foram matados em um ataque do suicide em Mosul abril em 26.
A reivindicação dos advogados das direitas civis mais dos detidos é inocente, quando as forças armadas dos E.U. as reivindicarem apresentam um perigo e fariam exame acima dos braços se liberadas.
As forças armadas dos E.U. opuseram sua liberação, dig havia um risco que apresentou um perigo continuando, mas foi livrado após ser transferido a Kuwait.
Um spokesman para o comando central dos E.U., centeio do comandante Scott da marinha dos E.U., disse a imprensa que associada não soube os motriz atrás do bombardeio do suicide.
Ajmi, envelhecido 30, um soldado Kuwaiti anterior, foram feitos exame a Guantánamo como parte de uma varredura geral em 2001 após os ataques de 9/11 em New York e em Washington.
Foi acusado da luta com o Taliban, uma carga que negou repetidamente.
Foi transferido de Guantánamo a Kuwait em 2005. A evidência alegada obtida em Guantánamo não foi permitida em uma corte Kuwaiti, que acquitted o e quatro outros em cargas terrorista-relacionadas.
Seu primo, al-Ajmi de Salem, dito televisão do al-Arabiya última quinta-feira que um amigo de Abdallah tinha informado a família que tinha realizado um ataque em Mosul.
“Nós fomos chocados pela notícia que dolorosa nós recebemos esta tarde… com uma chamada de um dos amigos do martyr Abdallah em Iraq,” Salem dito.
Ajmi desapareceu duas semanas há e sua família aprendeu-o à esquerda Kuwait ilegal para Syria, um ponto regular do trânsito para os jihadists que viajam a Iraq.
Tinha emitido mensagens a sua esposa de Iraq. Teve um filho após ser liberado de Guantánamo.
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had given no indication that he was planning to leave Kuwait to join the insurgency in Iraq, though he had become more withdrawn recently.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.
