US: Civilian Translator Arrested in Guantanamo Prison Probe VOA News 01 Oct 2003, 04:16 UTC voanews.com U.S. officials say a civilian translator who worked at the U.S. prison camp for suspected al-Qaida and Taleban detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba has been arrested in connection with suspected security breaches. Authorities say Ahmed Mehalba was detained Monday in Boston after arriving on a flight from Cairo and charged Tuesday with lying to federal officials. A federal judge ordered Mr. Mehalba to be held without bond pending a further hearing next week. Officials say when Mr. Mehalba arrived in Boston, he was carrying at least one compact disc which they say contained classified information. Pentagon officials told VOA that Mr. Mehalba -- a naturalized U.S. citizen of Egyptian descent -- was among a group of workers at the Guantanamo facility under suspicion for illegal activities. U.S. defense officials say others at Guantanamo remain under investigation. But the officials declined to say how many and what illegal activities they are suspected of being involved in. Two others suspects -- a Muslim Army chaplain and a senior U.S. airman -- were detained earlier.
