US court bars release of Guantanamo detainee
A US appeals court on Friday overturned a judge's order for the release of a Guantanamo Bay detainee accused of helping al-Qaeda recruit two men who became Sept. 11, 2001 hijackers.
A lower court judge had ruled Mohamedou Ould Salahi should be freed after eight years at Guantanamo because he was abused by interrogators at the US military prison in Cuba and that tainted the evidence against him. Other classified information was insufficient to support a criminal prosecution, the judge ruled. (AP)
