RIYADH: Relatives of two Saudi detainees who died at Guantanamo Bay said the men could not have committed suicide as the US military reported, because they are strict Muslims, newspapers said on Monday. Islam prohibits suicide and sets out harsh punishments in the after-life for those who take their own lives. The men’s families said they had probably been killed. Saudi Arabia, a staunch US ally, identified the two Saudis as Manei al-Otaibi and Yasser al-Zahrani and said it was working on the repatriation of their bodies. The kingdom did not say how the men died but the US military said the detainees, along with a Yemeni man, had hanged themselves. “I am confident my son did not commit suicide,” Talal al-Zahrani, Yasser’s father, told Asharq al-Awsat newspaper. “The story of the US administration is a lie.” Zahrani’s brother, Ahmed, also said it was unthinkable that Yasser would kill himself. “It’s impossible for Yasser to commit suicide,” he told al-Watan newspaper. “He was killed,” said another brother, Abdullah. Fares al-Otaibi, Manei’s brother, also suspected foul play. “We are 100 percent suspicious about his death,” he told the newspaper. reuters
Here we go...
suicide bombers kill infidels, so it's ok..
LOL! Just blow yourselves up in Mecca.
The opinions of savages as to how someone thousands of miles away died always carries a lot of weight with me. Always.
It was an accident. They choked on pork rinds.
Here comes the "you owe me money for the death of my loved one" crowd.
What if they were killed, but not by the U.S.? Follow "the money" and see who is profiting by their deaths. Could they have had a little help by their fellow detainees? Just asking.
Let's get the world in a real snit, let's just line up all the gitmo detainees and shoot them all. Roll them in a pit like Hitler used to.
