"The US military has dropped spy charges against a Syrian-American airman who worked as a translator at the Guantanamo Bay detention centre.

In a plea deal, the US military on Wednesday dropped the spying charges after Senior Airman Ahmad al-Halabi pleaded guilty to four lesser charges.
Halabi had originally faced charges of "aiding and abetting the enemy" that could have carried the death penalty.

The charges to which he pleaded guilty included taking two photographs of a guard tower in Guantanamo, wrongfully transporting a classified document to his living quarters, lying about taking photographs and conduct prejudicial to military discipline by sending unauthorised documents to himself at Travis Air Force base."

"Halabi is the third US servicemen to have been accused of spying by the authorities recently and had the charges dropped."
