muslem law

A Muslim chaplain counseling Al Qaeda and Taliban suspects held at the Guantanamo military prison has been detained by federal authorities. Capt. Yousef Yee, a West Point graduate, is the first known U.S. soldier to be detained in the war on terror and is being investigated for espionage and possibly even treason, several news reports said. Yee was found carrying classified documents, which CNN said included diagrams of the cells and the camp, lists of inmates and the names of their interrogators. Yee, 34, was stopped by FBI agents Sept. 10 in Jacksonville, Fla., after returning from Gitmo. After questioning, he was handed over to military officials. He is being held at a military brig in Charleston, S.C. - the same place officials are holding Yaser Esam Hamdi, an American-born Saudi who allegedly fought with the Taliban, and Jose Padilla, a former Chicago gang member charged with plotting to detonate a "dirty" bomb.
