Three years ago, Abdullah Saleh al-Ajmi, a Kuwaiti soldier who deserted
to fight in Afghanistan alongside the Taliban, sat in a detention cell
at the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, while lawyers argued
whether he was an "enemy combatant."

Last week, a Dubai-based television channel reported that al-Ajmi was
killed carrying out a homicide bombing in Mosul, Iraq.

While the report did not specify which attack Abdullah carried out,
Iraqi officials reported that Mosul was hit on April 26 by three
homicide attacks, killing seven people.

CBS News reported that al-Ajmi carried out an attack on Wednesday, April
30, according to an unconfirmed report posted on a jihadist Web site.

Al-Ajmi's cousin, Salem, reportedly told Al-Arabiya television that ,
"We were shocked by the painful news we received ... from one of the
friends of martyr Abdullah in Iraq."

Salem al-Ajmi reportedly said a friend told his cousin's family that the
30-year-old former detainee had fled Kuwait about two weeks ago.

Abdullah Saleh al-Ajmi, who was repatriated to Kuwait in November, 2005,
was free on bail there awaiting trial on charges he helped to raise
money for Al Qaeda.
