Detainee Freed From Gitmo Commits Suicide Bombing In Iraq

CAIRO, Egypt – Al-Jazeera television reports that cameraman Sami al-Haj has been released from Guantanamo after more than six years in U.S. custody and is en route to his home country Sudan.

Wadah Khanfar, managing director of Al-Jazeera Arabic, confirmed al- Haj was on a plane heading to the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, after being released from the U.S. detention center in Cuba earlier on Thursday.

“We are in a state of high expectation and we are overwhelmed with joy,” he said.

Khanfar added that al-Haj’s wife and child were flying from Doha, Qatar to Khartoum immediately to see him.

A Pentagon spokesman, Navy Cmdr. Jeffrey Gordon, declined comment on the report.
