Guantanamo prisoners handed over to Afghan authorities
Seventeen Afghan men released from the US detention centre for terror suspects in Guantanamo Bay were turned over to local authorities in Kabul today and will be allowed to return home soon, officials said.
The men – at least one of whom accused the Americans of mistreating him during his time at the detention facility – were being held at an undisclosed location in the capital, but would be sent back home as early as tomorrow, an intelligence official said.
