(TOWNHALL) — An airstrike authorized by the Trump administration against an al-Qaeda outpost in Yemen has killed a former detainee from the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba who was released in 2009.
"We can confirm the death of a former Guantanamo Bay detainee, Yasir al Silmi," said Navy Captain Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman.
This means that President Donald Trump has killed a foreign combatant that was released under the authority of Barack Obama.
