Former Gitmo prisoner busted on drug charge

You can't keep a good man down, I guess. I have no proof of this, but I assume a Yemeni prison probably is a worse place to be incarcerated than Gitmo. Karama Saeed Khamsan may soon be in a position to make an informed comparison between the two.

From the Arab News:

A Yemeni man repatriated last year from the US prison camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, appeared before a state security court in Sanaa yesterday charged with drug trafficking.

Karama Saeed Khamsan, 33, was accused of traveling to Pakistan to secure the delivery of two tons of hashish for $533,000 for a Yemeni partner.

The consignment was due to be smuggled across the Arabian Sea to the southern Yemeni province of Al-Mahra and then through the porous borders to Saudi Arabia.
