The US announced Sunday the transfer of six individuals from
the Guantanamo Bay military facility in Cuba to Uruguay – the first such
transfer of prisoners to South America.
The Pentagon identified the six men as Ahmed Adnan Ahjam,
Ali Hussain Shaabaan, Omar Mahmoud Faraj, Abdul Bin Mohammed Abis Ourgy,
Mohammed Tahanmatan, and Jihad Diyab.
Four of the individuals are Syrian, while one is Palestinian
and another is Tunisian. All six had been held for over 12 years, according to
the Associated Press.
