| [Al Arabiya Latest] Guantanamo detainee Ibrahim al-Qussi concluded a deal with the United States, in which he will confess to his crimes in return for easing the sentence to be enacted against him, Al Arabiya reporter said on Thursday. The Sudanese al-Qussi, who is also known as 'Bin Laden's Cook', is accused of links with al-Qaeda terrorist group and planning terrorist attacks against U.S. troops. He has been detained in Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba since 2002. According to Al Arabiya reporter, the details of the deal haven't been declared yet, but it will include an easing of his punishment in return of his confessions. In case the deal was implemented, it would be the first of its kind since the start of U.S. President Barack Obama's presidential term. Al-Qussi's pre-trial hearing, scheduled for next week, has been postponed until a final decision is taken regarding the deal. |
