WASHINGTON (AFP) — A man who carried out a suicide attack in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul last month has been identified as a former Kuwaiti detainee at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, US military officials said Wednesday.
Abdallah Salih al-Ajmi, who was released from Guantanamo in November 2005, is the first suicide bomber to be identified as a former Guantanamo detainee, Commander Jeffrey Gordon, a Pentagon spokesman said.
"We don't know what motivated him. His family apparently was shocked to hear that he had conducted the bombing," said Major Bradford Leighton, a US military spokesman in Baghdad.
