Close Gitmo? Spanish Police Raid Islamic State Cell in Africa, Arrest Former GITMO Combatant

31

This as President Barack Obama on Tuesday called for the closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention facility after delivering his plan to Congress to achieve a goal that has long eluded his presidency.
There is a 30% recidivism rate for GITMO enemy combatants. It’s the act of a madman (or a co-conspirator).

A couple of weeks ago, one of the terrorists whom the Obama administration transferred from Guantanamo Bay last month previously threatened to cut the throats of Americans upon his release.

“More Details on Former Guantánamo Prisoner Arrested for Jihad,” By Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D., Breitbart, February 23, 2016 (thanks to Christian):

According to separate statements from the Interior Ministries of both countries, the four arrests comprised three Spanish citizens who were seized in Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in North Africa, and one Moroccan national, who was taken in the Moroccan city of Nador.

The Moroccan statement identified one of the Spanish detainees in as a former Guantanamo prisoner who had fought with Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, but did not provide his name or information about his departure from the US detention center in Cuba.

Spanish authorities described the man as a “leader trained in handling weapons, explosives and military tactics,” which rendered the cell “particularly dangerous.” After being captured in 2002 and sent to Guantanamo, the man was returned to Spain in 2004, according to Spanish Interior Minister Jorge Fernandez Diaz.

The Spanish daily El País identified the ex-Guantanamo inmate as Hamed Abderraman Ahmed, who had been arrested by the U.S. military during an operation against the Taliban in Afghanistan.

In 2006, Spanish police arrested eleven people in a large scale operation in Ceuta against an alleged Islamic jihadist cell. Some 300 National Police are reported to have taken part in the operation. Among the arrested men were two brothers of Hamed Abderrahaman Ahmed.

Another of those arrested in Ceuta Tuesday is the brother of a fighter who carried out a suicide attack in 2013 against the Syrian army.

The four formed a group trying to recruit fighters to join the ranks of the militia of the radical Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, in addition to insurgents willing to carry out attacks in Spain and Morocco, the Spanish statement said.

Moreover, the alleged jihadists had “the clear intent and full disposition to carry out terrorist acts in Spanish territory,” the Ministry reported, adding that the men had entered into contact with a series of individuals who could supply them with weapons and materials to build explosives.

The three arrests in Spanish Ceuta bring the total of those arrested this year in Spain for links to jihadist terrorism to nine.

On February 7, six people were arrested in the provinces of Alicante, Valencia and Ceuta as alleged members of a jihadist cell that sent weapons, military equipment and money to terrorist organizations in Iraq and Syria, such as Jahbat al-Nusra and Islamic State, disguised as humanitarian aid.

During the course of 2015, the Spanish police arrested some 100 suspected Islamic extremists, and more than 600 since the 2004 Madrid train bombings that killed 191 people and left 2,000 injured.

Responsibility for the 2004 attacks, the most serious and lethal terrorist acts in Spain’s history, was claimed by the jihadist group Al-Qaeda.

If there is a question whether Obama is a madman or a Muslim co-conspirator, I think it’s very clear that he is the latter.

Precincts that had 100% for Obama (Even dictators that are the only one on the ballot don’t get that!), some precincts that had as much as 148% turnout, voting machines (computerized voting) that register only for BHO, etc.

The trouble with Queen Isabella and the King Ferdinhand they also got rid of all non Catholics besides the Muslims in the Inquisition, and those that were forced converted to Catholism also killed later

They should have just stuck to killing Muslims

You can take the jihadist out of Gitmo but you can never take the jihadist out of the authentic Mohammodean Muslim. Every inmate in Gitmo should have been executed as an enemy combatant on the battlefield – as per FDR’s explicit WW2 instructions. Every inmate in Gitmo today should be hung under International Piracy Laws and the conditions of war.

Secretary of State John Kerry lamented Wednesday that a terrorist who the Obama administration released from the military prison at Guantanamo Bay subsequently returned to fight for al Qaeda, telling lawmakers: “he’s not supposed to be doing that.”

I understand the need to capture these guys. But if they keep returning to the battlefield our guys will just whack them instead of capture. What a slap in the face to our troops.
