WASHINGTON: The Pentagon said on Monday that a March 2 strike against Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula in Yemen killed a former detainee from the US detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
“We can confirm the death of a former Guantanamo Bay detainee, Yasir al Silmi,” said Navy Captain Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, adding al Silmi had been held at the detention center from 2002 to 2009.
