  No. 935-04
IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 22, 2004

Transfer of Detainees Completed

            The Department of Defense announced today that it transferred 10 detainees from Afghanistan to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

            The decision to transfer a detainee to Guantanamo is based on their further intelligence value to the United States and whether they continue to pose a threat to the United States.   

            These detainees will be subject to the same review processes for continued detention as all other detainees currently at Guantanamo. 

            As a result of this latest transfer, there are now approximately 549 detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

            Because of operational and security considerations, no further details can be provided.
