23 Guantanamo suspects in mass self-harm bid

Twenty-three terror suspects tried to hang or strangle themselves at the United States military base in Guantanamo Bay on Cuba during a mass protest in 2003, the United States military confirmed.

The incidents came during the same year the camp suffered a rash of suicide attempts after Major General Geoffrey Miller took command of the prison with a mandate to get more information from prisoners accused of links to al-Qaida or the ousted Afghan Taliban regime that sheltered it.
