Gitmo Detainee Apparently Kills Himself
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) - A Saudi Arabian detainee died Wednesday at Guantanamo Bay prison and the U.S. military said he apparently committed suicide. The military did not identify the detainee who died or describe the manner of death. There are about 80 detainees from Saudi Arabia held at Guantanamo.

Guards at the U.S. Naval Base in southeast Cuba found the detainee unresponsive and not breathing in his cell Wednesday afternoon, the U.S. military's Southern Command said in a statement. ``They tried to save his life but he was pronounced dead,'' said Mario Alvarez, a Miami-based spokesman for the command.

They usually don't, but there are exceptions. Pity.
It would be the fourth suicide at Guantanamo since the prison camp opened in January 2002. On June 10, 2006, two Saudi detainees and one Yemeni hanged themselves with sheets.
