自殺炸彈在Guantánamo，說美國
由 Ewen MacAskill | 五角大樓昨天證實了科威特人從美國隔離營在伊拉克發布了在Guantánamo海灣三年前上個月執行了自殺性投彈。 一個前Guantánamo被拘留者的介入在美國和英國將使它堅硬為民權律師，為剩餘的囚犯發行在古巴戰鬥在陣營複合體。
Abdallah Salih AlAjmi和二其他Kuwaitis由他們的家庭報告在對伊拉克安全部隊的一次攻擊在Mosul，是場面強烈戰鬥的一個北城市參與了。
雖然家庭沒有指定日期，七個人在自殺式攻擊在Mosul被殺害了在4月26日。
民權律師要求大多被拘留者是無辜的，而美國軍事要求他們提出危險，并且拿起武器，如果釋放。
美國軍事反對他的發行，說有風險他提出了繼續的危險，但他在轉移被解救了到科威特以後。
美國中央命令的一位發言人，美國海軍斯科特・ Rye司令員，告訴了他不知道動機在自殺性投彈之後的美聯社。
Ajmi，年歲30，一位前科威特戰士， 2001年把帶對Guantánamo作為一般打掃一部分在對紐約和華盛頓的9/11攻擊以後。
他被指責了戰鬥與Taliban，他一再否認的指控。
2005年他從Guantánamo轉移了到科威特。 涉嫌的證據獲得在Guantánamo在科威特法院不允許，赦免他和四其他在與恐怖分子相關的充電。
他的表兄弟，薩利姆AlAjmi，告訴AlArabiya電視最後星期四Abdallah的朋友通知了家庭他在Mosul執行了一次攻擊。
「我們由我們通過電話在伊拉克今天下午收到…從其中一個受難者Abdallah朋友的痛苦的消息衝擊」，薩利姆認為。
Ajmi消失了二個星期前，并且他的家庭為敘利亞，規則運輸點非法地學會了他左科威特為旅行到伊拉克的jihadists。
他寄發了消息到他的妻子從伊拉克。 他有一個兒子在從Guantánamo以後被發布。
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had given no indication that he was planning to leave Kuwait to join the insurgency in Iraq, though he had become more withdrawn recently.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.
