Former Guantanamo Inmates Return To Terrorism


As President-elect Obama prepares to order the closing of Guantanamo Bay, the Pentagon released a report that indicates that at least 61 former inmates have returned to terrorism:

One such terrorist, Abdullah Saleh al-Ajmi was held at Gitmo, was released , and then went on to engineer suicide bombings in Iraq.

At his board hearing, Abdullah said that he had gone to Pakistan to study Islam and had never been to Afghanistan. He also claimed he never participated in any acts of terror. Yet he crossed the border into Iraq almost immediately after being released to Kuwait in 2005, where he carried out terrorist attacks and set up suicide bombings until he “martyred” himself in 2008. He blew himself and seven innocent Iraqi security officers up in Mosul.
