Former Gitmo Prisoners Arrested In Russia For Terrorism
Moscow News – Two former Guantanamo prisoners, extradited to Russia in 2002, have been detained in Moscow on suspicion of preparing a series of terrorist attacks, the Vremya Novostei newspaper reported Tuesday.
The two Russian citizens, Airat Vakhitov and Rustam Akhmyarov, who were seized in a counter-terrorist operation in Afghanistan and kept at the Guantanamo base in Cuba with other Taliban and terrorist suspects, and then extradited home to Russia, have been detained and are now being held in a Russian detention centre.
They are charged with preparing and carrying out a series of terrorist acts in the Central Russian Povolzhye region.
Three other former Guantanamo prisoners have been detained in Russia’s Tatarstan Republic on the same charges, the paper adds.
Meanwhile, in the U.S., ACLU members are working around the clock to free Guantanamo prisoners from the inhumanity of chilly rooms and Christina Aguilera music.
