TUNIS, Tunisia: A Tunisian man released from the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay says he was beaten by American soldiers while in custody in Afghanistan, his lawyer said.

Lotfi Lagha, who was returned to Tunisia in late June after five years at the U.S. detention center for terrorism suspects in Cuba, spoke with his lawyer, Samir Ben Amor, for the first time Thursday at a prison in Mornaguia, south of the capital, Tunis.
