An American al-Qaida suspect detained in Yemen fooled his hospital guards into unshackling him by asking to join them for prayers, security officials said Saturday. He then killed a guard who laid down his weapon as he went ahead at prayer time.

The new details of Sharif Mobley's failed escape attempt, obtained by The Associated Press, indicate the 26-year-old American of Somali descent has a level of training and cunning characteristic of the terror network. [....]

So, here we have young Sharif Mobley, (Mom's great grandson?) conning his guards into letting their guard down... now then, if Yemen had a gob'ment bureau like our OSHA, this never would'a happened. OSHA would have insisted that a warning label be attached to young Mobley's wrist saying:

"Warning - it is not safe to unshackle this prisoner, place a loaded weapon next to him, and then go wash your hands before prayers." How's that for a step toward crime prevention?

The onliest question I still have is.... if this piece of human excrement killed one of their fellow guards, and seriously wounded another..... why or how did they let him 'surrender' after chasing him around the hospital?

Sounds dumber than those ROE (rules of engagement) in Afghanistan ... the bad guys can shoot at you all they want, but if they lay their guns down, our troops can't shoot at them!! The Marquess of Queensberry in charge now?
