Gitmo hunger striker claims guards threatened him
A Guantanamo prisoner who has been on a hunger strike for three years claims U.S. guards recently threatened to kill him and took his legal papers, lawyers for the Saudi said Monday.
Ahmed Zaid Zuhair told his lawyers a guard said 'he will kill me and chop my body into pieces,' while another said, 'Don't kill him, but cut off his ears and his nose,' according to a translated copy of the letter released by his attorneys.
His lawyers filed the letter with a Washington court as part of a petition seeking the return of the seized legal documents and the right to speak with their client by phone.
