A Bahraini man being held at the U.S. prison for terrorism suspects attempted suicide this week for the ninth time and has begun a hunger strike, according to newly released court documents.

Juma'a Mohammed al-Dossary tried to kill himself Monday by pulling out sutures on an arm wound he inflicted on himself a month earlier, the chief medical officer at Guantanamo, Dr. John Edmondson, said in an affidavit filed in federal court in Washington.

Al-Dossary, who has been held since February 2002, also began a hunger strike in the first week of November to protest not being included in a group of Bahrainis released from Guantanamo, Edmondson said.

It was the fourth suicide attempt in 20 months at Guantanamo.
