A Ugandan prosecutor involved in a case of an al-Qaeda affiliate attack was murdered and the main suspect is a man who was released from Guantanamo Bay.
Watch below:
Ugandan counterterrorism police picked up Jamal Kiyemba, formerly a Guantanamo detainee, along with six other suspects in two coordinated raids Tuesday evening in Kampala, according to police spokesman Fred Enanga. Those arrested are suspected of killing Joan Kagezi, the lead prosecutor in the trial of suspected al Qaeda-affiliated militants charged for a 2010 terror attack in Kampala. Mr. Kiyemba and other suspects are also being held in connection with the deaths of several Muslim leaders and security officials.
“Jamal Kiyemba is in police custody,” Mr. Enanga said. “We think he is part of an organized criminal syndicate behind recent killings in the country.”
This man was only considered a “medium-risk” detainee, which is why he was let out of Gitmo. Now imagine what are the chances of the five hardened terrorists we traded for the deserter Bergdahl will return to the battlefield?
