Charges dropped against Guantanamo chaplain

The US Army has dropped all charges against a Muslim chaplain accused of mishandling classified documents at the naval base detention centre in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where suspected terrorists are held.

Captain James Yee will be allowed to return to his previous duty station at Fort Lewis, near Tacoma, Washington, the US Southern Command (Southcom), which oversees the detention centre in Cuba, said.
