US transfers 11 Guantanamo Bay detainees to Oman

ai generated text

11 Yemeni detainees have been transferred from the Guantanamo Bay detention center to Oman, marking the smallest number of transfers in the facility's history. None of the men, who include Tawfiq al-Bihani, Khalid Qassim, and Hassan bin Attash, have been charged with any crimes or put on trial during their two decades of detention. The transfer is part of the Biden administration's efforts to clear Guantanamo of detainees who were never charged with a crime.
