| (KUNA) -- Pak law-enforcement agencies (LEA) have reportedly re-jugged more than 20 former Guantanamo Bay prisoners and are interrogating them for their links with bully boy and religious groups, said sources on Saturday. The law-enforcers have jugged about twenty-one such prisoners from different areas of northern Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... province, LEA sources told KUNA. When contacted interior ministry sources also confirmed the report. They said the former Gitmo prisoners were jugged after reports that they have re-established links with Death Eaters and religiously-extremist groups. There were also some reports that they were involved in terrorist activities in the country, said sources, adding, they will also help trace hideouts of Al-Qaeda commanders and main leaders. Sources said that the jugged Death Eaters are closely linked to Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistain (TTP). The report of arrests came as US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta ...former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, now SecDef. Panetta served as President Bill Clinton's White House Chief of Staff from 1994 to 1997 and was a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1977 to 1993.... in Kabul said that Ayman Al-Zawahri, the new Al Qaeda chief, is living in Pakistain's bordering tribal belt. |

| #1 This ought to bump up the Gitmo recidivism another few percent. Has it hit 1/3 yet? Of course the see-hear-speak no evil Obama administration will not classify this as jihad-jihad. |
