 Russian authorities say a former inmate at the US detention centre at Guantanamo Bay has confessed to taking part in the attack on the southern Russian city of Nalchik earlier this month.
| He was just there studying Islam with an NGO, though. And his confession was coerced. And it wudn't him. |

Investigators say they also have intelligence linking another former Guantanamo detainee with the violence, in which more than 120 people were killed. Russian prosecutors have portrayed the violence in the south as Russia's battle with international terrorism. However, lawyers for those detained in the investigation say police are torturing them into making false confessions.
