Pentagon: Gitmo Prisoner Commits Suicide
----------------------------------------



A Guantanamo Bay prisoner has died of what the Pentagon is calling an
“apparent suicide.” The prisoner, Muhammad Ahmad Abdallah Salih, was
thirty-one years old. A Yemeni national, he had been held at Guantanamo
without charge since 2002. He had previously taken part in a
long-running hunger strike that had left him weighing as little as
around eighty-six pounds. It’s the fourth apparent suicide by a
Guantanamo prisoner.
