Meeting With Gitmo Inmate Turns Bloody
(AP)
A lawyer for a Yemeni held at Guantanamo says the prisoner slashed his wrist and threw the blood during a meeting at the U.S. prison.
Attorney David Remes tells The Associated Press that Adnan Latif used a piece of veneer from a table to saw through a vein in his wrist. Remes says his client apparently is recovering.
He says the prisoner kept his arms underneath the table to hide the wrist-cutting from the lawyer, an interpreter and guards watching Sunday over a video monitoring system.
The prisoner then hurled a container of the blood at his lawyer. Guards then subdued and treated him.
A detention center spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
