Guantanamo Inmate to be Freed
The U.S. announced it is returning one of the Guantanamo detainees to Denmark. Denmark has stated that he will be freed upon his return:
The Pentagon did not give his name, but Danish media have identified him as Slimane Hadj Abderrahmane, imprisoned in February 2001 after being captured in Afghanistan.
The Pentagon said Denmark has provided unspecified assurances that he will not pose a further threat. The United States has released 93 prisoners from Guantanamo but still holds roughly 650 non-U.S. citizens caught in what President Bush calls the global war on terrorism. The Pentagon said it decided he no longer posed a danger.
