Hundreds attend funeral of Guantanamo prisoner



Dubai, June 29 (DPA) Hundreds of mourners attended funeral prayers for Manie Al-Otaibi, one of the two Saudi detainees alleged to have committed suicide inside the US military base of Guantanamo Bay, media reports said Thursday.

After funeral prayers Wednesday at the Al-Raihi Mosque in Riyadh, Al-Otaibi's body was carried by worshippers to a vehicle that took him to the Al-Naseem cemetery, Saudi newspaper Arab News reported.

It said family members of Al-Otaibi and Yasser Al-Zahrani, the other Saudi found dead in Guantanamo, attended a meeting Wednesday with the medical committee that carried out autopsies on the bodies.

According to Kateb Al-Shammari, a lawyer representing the two families, Saeed Al-Ghamdi, head of the medical committee, briefed them on the results of the autopsies.

Al-Ghamdi said there were many procedures yet to be finalised in the kingdom to support the final report on the cause and circumstances surrounding the deaths.

The physician said the medical team had taken several samples from both bodies but that it would take more time for the results to come from the medical laboratory.

The two families agreed to receive the bodies after hearing the briefing. They had earlier said they would not bury the bodies before they received the results of the autopsies.

The family members of Yasser Al-Zahrani requested that his body be transported to Madinah where it will be buried Thursday, said the paper.

The bodies of Al-Otaibi and Al-Zahrani arrived in Riyadh June 17, after US authorities reported that they were found dead in their cells June 10. The body of Yemeni national Ali Ahmed, the third man found dead at Guantanamo, has been repatriated to Yemen.

The families of Al-Otaibi and Al-Zahrani have dismissed US claims that the youths committed suicide and claimed there were bruises on the bodies.

The alleged suicides were the first to be reported at the prison since it was opened in 2002. US authorities said the two men hanged themselves with clothes and bed sheets in their prison cells.
