Two Yemeni detainees held at the controversial US military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have been transferred to Ghana.

The Pentagon said Khalid al-Dhuby had been approved for release since 2006 and Mahmoud Omar Bin Atef since 2009.

Both have been held for more than a decade and have never been charged.

Ghana has given permission for the men to stay for two years subject to security clearances, Foreign Minister Hanna Tetteh said.

The West African nation has not previously taken any Guantanamo prisoners.

....

According to military records, Mahmoud Omar Bin Atef is a Yemeni citizen born in Saudi Arabia in 1979 and was handed over to the US following his capture by Northern Alliance Forces in Afghanistan in 2001.

...

US official documents say Khalid al-Dhuby was born in Saudi Arabia in 1981 and travelled to Afghanistan to fight. They say he was assessed as "a probable member" of al-Qaeda.

30% that we’ve released. have gone back to fight on the battlefield.

Americans will be killed by these bastards.

We should have buried them in a shallow grave.

Sometimes, but what the liberals who support freeing these savages don't realize is that most of the innocents that they kill are actually non-Americans.

It's often some poor Arab or African that the jihadis are also at war with. Leftists don't care.
