Army Islamic Chaplain Detained in Probe

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - A Muslim chaplain at the U.S. military base in Guantanamo who counseled suspected terrorists and taught fellow troops about Islam is the first known U.S. soldier to be detained in the U.S.-led war on terror.

Army Capt. Yousef Yee, a 34-year-old with a thinning buzz-cut who converted to Islam after being raised as a Christian, arrived at Guantanamo Bay Naval Station in Cuba last November. His job was to teach fellow troops about Islam and counsel detainees suspected of links to Afghanistan (news - web sites)'s ousted Taliban regime or the al-Qaida terror network.
