| Guantanamo thugs still trying to kill themselves... |
| 2002-10-03 |
| More terrorist suspects detained at Guantanamo Bay have tried to kill themselves, following four attempted suicides in July and August, U.S. military officials say. The attempts occurred since August, but officials declined to say how many more there had been, when they occurred, or whether any detainee has tried to kill himself more than once. "There have been additional suicide attempts but we will not discuss that," mission spokesman Lt. Col. Joe Hoey said Wednesday, referring all other questions to U.S. Southern Command in Miami. "Can't find anybody else to kill, guess I'll cut my own head off..." Southern Command spokesman Sgt. Ray Sarracino also declined to give details, but said guards had "intervened." The previous attempts involved four men who all tried to hang themselves with "comfort items" in their cells, such as towels or sheets. One of the men also tried to cut his wrist with a plastic utensil, officials said last month. "No, Mahmoud. You can't cut your wrists with your plastic fork..." Of course, as soon as one of these goobers succeeds, the jihadis will be charging our guys assassinated him, with the Mary Robinson crowd singing sweet harmony... |
