The U.S. Department of Defense said it
is transferring two detainees from the
Guantanamo Bay facility, following a
review of their cases.
A Pentagon statement said Nabil Said
Hadjarab and Mutia Sadiq Ahmad
Sayyab will be handed over to the
Government of Algeria. The two Algerian
citizens were believed to be al-Qaida
members and were detained in
Afghanistan in December 2011.
The Pentagon said the review of their
cases by six government agencies
examined a number of factors, including
security issues, before the two were
approved for transfer.
The statement thanked the government
of Algeria for "its willingness to support
ongoing U.S. efforts to close the
Guantanamo Bay detention facility."
The Defense Department said 164
detainees remain at Guantanamo Bay.
