Somali Prisoner Moved to Gitmo

HeadlineJun 07, 2007

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has announced it’s transferred a new prisoner to Guantanamo Bay. Abdullahi Sudi Arale is believed to have come from a secret U.S. detention facility in Somalia. The U.S. says he played a leading role in the Islamic coalition ousted by U.S.-backed Ethiopian forces last year. McClatchy Newspapers reports Arale had been previously unknown and didn’t appear on the list of key Somali suspects wanted in connection with previous attacks on U.S. facilities.
