The Raw Story | US: Ex-Guantanamo prisoner carried out Iraq suicide attack

The Raw Story | US: Ex-Guantanamo prisoner carried out Iraq suicide attack: "'It is unknown what motivated him to leave Kuwait and go to Iraq,' Rye said. 'His family members reportedly were shocked to hear he had conducted a suicide bombing.'

Three suicide car bombers targeted Iraqi security forces, killing at least seven people and wounding 28 in the northern city of Mosul, local officials said. It was not yet known which involved al-Ajmi.

Military documents previously released to AP show that al-Ajmi was 'constantly in trouble' while in Guantanamo and held in disciplinary blocks during his detention. He also allegedly told officials in August 2004 that 'he now is a jihadist, an enemy combatant, and that he will kill as many Americans as he possibly can.'

Tom Wilner, a lawyer who represented Kuwaiti prisoners at Guantanamo, said al-Ajmi had a broken arm during one of their meetings at the base in Cuba and that he alleged he had been injured by guards who interrupted him while he prayed.

Wilner called the alleged suicide attack a 'tragedy' that could have been avoided with court hearings for prisoners held at Guananamo, where the U.S. now holds about 270 men."
