Libyan detainee kept at Guantanamo as forever prisoner
Roundup reports the Guantanamo parole board approved indefinite detention for Ismael Ali Faraj Ali Bakush, a Libyan detainee arrived Aug 5, 2002, charged with no crime. The 18th board found him too dangerous to release, citing al Qaida involvement, explosives training, and lack of life plans after Guantanamo. The July 14 hearing included a detainee statement withheld by request. In a separate Florida case, a 19 year old FSU student stabbed a couple outside their Tequesta home.
