Report: Ex-Gitmo detainee joins al-Qaeda in Yemen
A Saudi man who was released from Guantanamo after spending six years inside the U.S. prison camp has joined al-Qaeda's branch in Yemen and is now the terror group's No. 2 in the country, according to a purported Internet statement from al-Qaeda.
The announcement, made this week on a website commonly used by militants, came as President Barack Obama ordered the detention facility closed within a year. (AP)
