The Biden administration has quietly shipped 11 prisoners linked to al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden to Oman from Guantanamo Bay.
The Yemeni men had been held at the infamous facility at the southeastern end of Cuba for more than two decades without charge.
Two of the men were once bodyguards for Osama Bin Laden, and all of the men were captured in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks.
'The United States appreciates the willingness of the government of Oman and other partners to support ongoing U.S. efforts focused on responsibly reducing the detainee population and ultimately closing the Guantanamo Bay facility,' the Defense Department said in a statement.
'Although different processes, each of the Yemeni detainees underwent a thorough, interagency review by career professionals who unanimously determined all detainees as transfer eligible consistent with the national security interests of the United States.'
The move was the latest salvo - and potentially the last - in a concerted effort from the Biden administration to clear Guantanamo Bay of such prisoners.
The transfer took place early on Monday morning as part of a covert operation to get the men to Oman, where they will be resettled, safely and without fuss.
It is unclear what the United States has agreed to, or provided Oman, in exchange for taking the prisoners.

If they are going to be petty, then if Obama is still living in Dc when Trump take office in 13 days, there should be daily “power outages” in the block where Obama has his house. Get a power company truck out there and camp out in That neighborhood. If you get my take…2 should be playing this game and they shouldn’t be on the same side. Put the deep state on notice!
I’m 100% in favor of filling it back up. Let’s start with Clapper, Brennan, Comey, Chaney and Raskin.
I believe he likely has done that dirty deed for years.
Will the press even ask WHY this is a good idea?
