Danish Prisoner Released From Guantanamo
Free:
A Danish citizen held for two years in the U.S. military
prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, has returned to Denmark, the Foreign
Ministry said Wednesday.
The announcement came a week after the United States said it planned to
release five Britons and the Dane.
The man has not been named by authorities, but Danish media have
identified him as 30-year-old Slimane Hadj Abderrahmane. He was
transferred to Guantanamo Bay in February 2002 after being captured in
Afghanistan or Pakistan.
'The police have, according to an agreement with him and the family,
made housing available for the next few days,' the Foreign Ministry
said in a brief statement.
It said the man did not wish to speak to reporters.
I'll keep my eye out for this guy. I suspect he'll start talking to reporters soon enough.
