SUICIDE ATTACK
Former prisoner blamed
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- The U.S. military confirmed that a former Guantanamo detainee from Kuwait carried out a recent suicide attack in northern Iraq.

A spokesman for U.S. military's Central Command said Wednesday that Abdallah Salih al-Ajmi took part in an attack on Iraqi forces in Mosul.

U.S. Navy Cmdr. Scott Rye said authorities don't know the motive for the attack, which was reported last week by Dubai-based Al-Arabiya television.

The U.S. transferred al-Ajmi to Kuwaiti custody in 2005. A Kuwaiti court later acquitted him of terrorism charges.
