Father demands Guantanamo suicide probe

SAN'A, Yemen - The father of a Yemeni detainee found hanged in his Guantanamo cell said Sunday he will only receive his son's body for burial once an international investigation is launched into the death.

Salah al-Aslami, 28, and two Saudi inmates committed suicide in separate cells at Guantanamo on June 10, using their sheets and clothing as nooses and leaving notes, the U.S. has said.

The body of the Yemeni detainee, whom U.S. prison authorities identified as Ali Abdullah Ahmed, arrived in Yemen Thursday and is being kept in the state-run Revolution Hospital in the capital San'a.

"The United States should have sent the autopsy report with the body, which didn't happen," Mohammed Abdullah al-Aslami, the father, told reporters Sunday.
