Bin Laden's 'bodyguards' freed from Guantanamo

Moath Hamza Ahmed al-Alwi and Suhayl Abdul Anam al Sharabi were among 11 Yemeni men with alleged links to al-Qaeda sent to Oman.

The Pentagon confirmed the move was part of President Joe Biden’s push to clear the controversial US detention centre on Cuba of prisoners who have never been charged. It brings the number of Guantanamo Bay detainees to 15.

That is the lowest since 2002, when President George W Bush turned the naval base into a pen for predominantly Muslim men taken in to custody around the world in America’s “war on terror”.
