Spying for Syria?
More details about the curious case of GTMO Airman al-Halabi...EFL(He) was arrested July 23 at the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, Fla., where he was en route to Syria. The next day, military authorities flew him to Travis Air Force Base, Calif., before he was transferred to Vandenberg. The 10-page indictment accuses al-Halabi of sending intelligence, names and serial numbers of detainees by e-mail to a known enemy. He was carrying a laptop computer with 180 electronic notes to be delivered to Syria. The indictment also alleges that al-Halabi carried two handwritten notes from detainees at Guantanamo Bay with details of U.S. intelligence-gathering and planning for the U.S. war on terror. Specifically, he was carrying classified information on the interrogation of detainees, details of military flights into and out of Guantanamo Bay and detailed maps of the U.S. military installation there. It was not clear whether prosecutors believed the classified information was destined for the government of Syria or for individuals there working independently of the government.
