Gitmo decision angers islanders

THE tiny Pacific nation of Palau’s decision to allow 13 Chinese Muslims from the Guantanamo Bay prison camp to resettle there has sparked anger among islanders who fear for the safety of the tourist haven.

Some complained that the government failed to consult the people.

“It’s good to be humanitarian and all, but still these people... to me are scary,” Natalia Baulis, a mother-of-two, said.
