Gitmo Prisoner Dies in Cell 
----------------------------


 
The U.S. military has disclosed a Guantánamo Bay prisoner died over the
weekend in his cell. The victim's identity has not been released but he
is said to have taken part in a hunger strike at the prison earlier this
year. He is believed to be the ninth foreign prisoner to die at
Guantánamo since the United States began jailing foreigners there in
2002. Several prisoners have taken their own lives.
