California Disneyland - Art World Guerrilla Targets Disneyland

BANKSY, the "guerrilla artist", has struck again - this time with a striking life-size structure of a Guantanamo Bay detainee at Disneyland.

The work features a hooded figure in an orange jumpsuit with manacled hands and feet beside the Rocky Mountain Railroad ride. It is understood that the work, by the notoriously secretive artist, stood there for 90 minutes before the ride at the California theme park was halted and the figure removed.

A spokeswoman for Banksy said the aim was to highlight the detention of terrorist suspects at the controversial centre in Cuba.
