Magazine that taught how to kill Americans reaches terror suspect at Gitmo

FORT MEADE, Md. (AP)

A copy of a magazine published by an arm of al-Qaida made its way to a terror suspect at the Guantanamo Bay prison, leading to an inspection of cells and a contentious new policy requiring special review teams to examine correspondence between prisoners and attorneys, U.S. prosecutors said Wednesday.

Navy Cmdr. Andrea Lockhart told a military judge during a pre-trial hearing that a copy of Inspire magazine got into a cell. She provided no details on who received the magazine or how.

But she said the breach showed that prior rules at the base governing mail review were not adequate.

Yemen's al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula launched the online, English-language magazine in 2010.

An early issue contained tips to would-be militants about how to kill U.S. citizens.
