IRELAND has agreed to take two of the prisoners from the American concentration camp at Guantanamo, Cuba because they cannot go back to their home country, Uzbekistan. The Americans would like us to think they have jailed only crazed Muslim terrorists in Guantanamo, but people should ask who were held there.

A Guantanamo prisoner has testified that US troops made loud noises, kept the lights on in his cell, and frequently moved him around the prison to deprive him of sleep.

AN AFGHAN detainee who was captured as a teenager has railed in court against the US military’s tribunal system and said he will boycott his trial, telling the judge: “Don’t bother me anymore.”

A roadside bomb exploded near a US military convoy in Baghdad today, missing the soldiers but killing a seven-year-old boy who was selling cans of black-market petrol on the street and wounding nine other civilians.

The bodies of 13 Iraqi men, some beheaded, have been taken to a Baghdad hospital, a doctor said today.
