5 Yemeni men freed from Guantanamo Bay after 14 years without charge
BY BNO NEWS

WASHINGTON: -- Five Yemeni men have been released from the Guantanamo Bay detention facility in Cuba after being held in detention for nearly 14 years without charge, the Pentagon says. A total of 107 people remain imprisoned at the controversial facility.

The U.S. Department of Defense said Sunday that Ali Ahmad Muhammad al-Razihi, Khalid Abd-al-Jabbar Muhammad Uthman al-Qadasi, Adil Said al-Hajj Ubayd al-Busays, Sulayman Awad Bin Uqayl al-Nahdi, and Fahmi Salem Said al-Asani were released from the detention facility in Cuba and transferred to the United Arab Emirates.

“The United States is grateful to the Government of the United Arab Emirates for its willingness to support ongoing U.S. efforts to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility,” the department said in a statement. “The United States coordinated with the Government of the United Arab Emirates to ensure these transfers took place consistent with appropriate security and humane treatment measures.”

According to secret documents released by WikiLeaks, al-Razihi, 36, was alleged to have been a member of al-Qaeda and a bodyguard for the group’s late leader, Osama bin Laden. A 2008 document from the Department of Defense claimed that al-Razihi had received basic and advanced training at the Al Farouq training camp in southern Afghanistan and may have both supported combat activities on the front lines of Afghanistan and assisted in the management of al-Qaeda guest houses. He was captured by Pakistani forces in December 2001, along with other alleged members of al-Qaeda.

I'm guessing the 5 will forget the conditions in which they were held for such a long period of time. Perhaps they would not have survived 14 years if they remained in Pakistan's possession...

So, they "may have" done this or that, and they are deprived of their freedom for 14 years, still no evidence.

Rich grounds for a lawsuit for compensation.

I encourage them to sue.

Charges? so you are charged with being a Jihadi combat fighter and tried in a court. The guy is a POW but with no country that will claim him

No, these are old angry militant jihadist who were killing back when they were captured. Sorry you seem confused. Perhaps checking out the recent news articles regarding terror attack; Paris France. See what these types think is hipsterville and cool. If that is too recent try Mumbai India terror attack, check out what they are into.
