Guantanamo panel to weigh Kuwaiti prisoner's transfer
 

By Ian Simpson WASHINGTON, June 11 (Reuters) - A Kuwaiti inmate at the Guantanamo Bay prison faces a hearing this week on whether he should be transferred home, with the Pentagon saying on Wednesday that he likely had ties to Osama bin Laden and his lawyer contending he was ** threat to the United States. Faez Mohammed Ahmed al-Kandari has been at the U.S. military prison in Cuba since May 2002. A Defense Department profile released on Wednesday said al-Kandari acted as a recruiter and propagandist for al Qaeda and went to Afghanistan in 2001. In a statement, al-Kandari's lawyer Barry Wingard said his client was in Afghanistan for charity work.
