Uighur on Palau after Gitmo release goes missing

TOKYO (AP) — One of six Uighur men resettled to the tiny island of Palau after being released from the Guantanamo Bay military prison four years ago is missing, an official from the South Pacific nation said Thursday.

Adel Noori has been missing since late last year, Rhinehart Silas said by phone from Koror, Palau’s largest city. Silas, the deputy chief of staff to Palau’s president, said Noori had no passport and it was unclear where he went. He said the Palaun government just learned of his disappearance and was investigating.
