Fox News: NATO Kills Ex-Gitmo Detainee in Afghanistan
NATO and Afghan forces killed a former Guantanamo detainee who had become a key Al Qaeda affiliate after returning to Afghanistan, officials said Saturday.
Sabar Lal Melma, who was released from Guantanamo in 2007 after five years of detention, had been organizing attacks in eastern Kunar province and funding insurgent operations, NATO spokesman Capt. Justin Brockhoff said.
That brings us to over 151 detainees confirmed or suspected of returning to the fight after their being released from Guantanamo.
Catch and release of enemy combatants tends to present problems, but this one finally resulted in a happy ending.
