The U.S. government has arrested a third person working for the military at Guantanamo Bay where over 600 men are being detained after being captured in the so-called war on terror. The man, Ahmed Mehalba, was arrested in Boston. Officials say he was carrying CDs containing classified information about the detention facility. Mehalba, who was born in Egypt and is a U.S. citizen, worked as a civilian interpreter at Guantanamo. The Washington Post reports the government has no ties that connect Mehalba’s case to the recent arrests of an Army captain who serves as a Muslim chaplain there and an Air Force officer who works as a translator.
