Was This Pic of 9/11 Suspect Smuggled Out of Gitmo?

Officials scrambling to find out how photos landed on jihadist website

(NEWSER) - US officials are at a loss to explain how apparently recent photos of the suspected 9/11 master plotter ended up on a jihadist website . They fear the photos may have been taken and smuggled out of Guantanamo Bay. The photos show a calm, often smiling Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other detainees, reports NBC News . In one, a beatific-looking Mohammed appears to be reading the Koran. The shots seem to have been taken in the high-security Gitmo detention facility in Cuba where Mohammed is currently facing a military tribunal with four others on 9/11 murder and terrorism charges.

Tomorrow: 9/11 Case Back On at Gitmo

3 years later, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, 4 others set for arraignment

(NEWSER) - It's been three years since President Obama paused the case against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other alleged planners of the 9/11 attacks. Tomorrow, the case resumes in a military tribunal at Guantanamo after efforts to move the proceedings to a civilian court failed . Things could be a little different this time around, however: While Mohammed once said he'd welcome the death penalty, now, "I don't think anyone is going to plead guilty," says a lawyer for another defendant, Ramzi Binalshibh.

16% of Gitmo Detainees Return to Terrorist Life

And another 12% are suspected of re-upping

(NEWSER) - Of the 600 detainees who have left Guantanamo Bay, just under 16% of them have re-engaged in terrorist activities—and the director of National Intelligence yesterday pointed out that's a smaller figure than the 27% a Republican congressional report cited last month. That's because the earlier report combined the confirmed figure with a suspected one: Another 12% are believed to have rejoined a terror group. The AP notes that this is the first time the numbers have been broken down so specifically. More»

Gitmo Prisoners' New Perk: $750K Soccer Field

Many Guantanamo Bay detainees will be allowed access sans escorts

(NEWSER) - For those in the US wailing about wasteful government spending and/or the Obama administration's failure to close Guantanamo Bay, cue the outrage: Gitmo detainees are getting a new soccer field, which will cost taxpayers $744,000. The field is just about finished and was shown to reporters during a tour yesterday; it is half the size of an American football field and will be available to the "highly compliant" detainees living in the communal setting of Camp 6. Of the 171 detainees still being held at Guantanamo Bay, 85% are in Camp 6, the Washington Post notes. More»

Al-Qaeda Magazine Found in Gitmo

Prosecutor reveals embarrassing security breach

(NEWSER) - A copy of al-Qaeda's Inspire magazine somehow found its way into a terror suspect's cell at Guantanamo Bay. The security breach was revealed at a hearing yesterday by a prosecutor defending the prison camp's plan to review mail between prisoners and their attorneys, the Miami Herald reports. The magazine, launched in 2010 , glorifies al-Qaeda actions including the 9/11 attacks and offers bomb-making tips and messages of support for Gitmo inmates. More»
