US NAVAL BASE AT GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba,19Jan,2012: An Al Qaida magazine was discovered after being smuggled into Guantanamo prison, a senior US official said Wednesday amid a debate on new rules on mail inspections. Prison staff found an English-language copy of "Inspire" magazine, deputy military prosecutor Andrea Lockhart told a military tribunal hearing. She did not specify how the magazine, which is published by the Al Qaida, was smuggled into the remote US base in southern Cuba nor whether it was discovered during a search of the cells. But Lockhart said new rules on inspecting the mail between lawyers and detainees were brought in on December 27 after its discovery. The new rules have been hotly contested by lawyers as a violation of their clients rights.
