President Obama is planning to transfer at least 22 additional Guantanamo Bay detainees out of the military detention center before he leaves office later this month, DailyMail.com has learned.
The group being released will be drawn from those held at Guantanamo - who include an accused senior al Qaeda bomb-maker, the terror group's top financial manager, and two intended 9/11 hijackers, who have all been held in the Cuba-based U.S. detention facility for more than a decade.
According to a military source briefed on the process, 22 detainees are being prepared for transfer out of the camp, also known as Gitmo, before January 20.
Although the White House has not specified which inmates will be transferred out or which foreign countries have agreed to accept them it has indicated that this will be a priority for Obama in his final days in office.
'I can't speak to any individual notifications that have been made to Congress or give you a specific preview about upcoming transfers,' said White House press secretary Josh Earnest.
Riled: Trump wrote on Twitter that the remaining 'Gitmo' inmates 'are extremely dangerous people' - hinting at the reaction when Obama's official transfers begin
'I think I would expect at this point additional transfers to be announced before January 20th.'
Obama will likely focus on moving the 23 detainees who have been 'cleared for transfer' a group that includes the alleged head of al Qaeda's bomb-manufacturing operation in eastern Afghanistan, the head of al Qaeda's Tunisian faction in Afghanistan, and senior weapons trainers.
Those held in Guantanamo in recent years have been dubbed 'the worst of the worst' by military and intelligence officials.

Obama doesn’t give a crap who or what they are. As an ardent democrat, he promised to close Gitmo. He intends to get it down to numbers so low, it looks silly to keep it open since he was not able to close it. Being a democrat, he must try to keep the democrat platform going.
Follow the money. After enjoying 100 million dollars in vacations and golf over the last eight years,Obama needs serious walking around money to support his lifestyle going forward.
My bet is that he will be getting some serious contributions to his retirement accounts from Saudi Arabia and others with similar interests in getting these guys back in the game.
It would not be surprising to see Obama deliberately burn down the White House to prevent Trump from living there.
If he was a Muslim, what would he be doing differently?
I am considering. It is a tough question.
Pardon Major Hassan (Ft. Hood Shooter?)
This is complicated because there is so much he may be doing that could be hidden...
“”the White House has not specified which inmates will be transferred out””
That is most important information for us to have. Will it be Achmed, or Achmed, or Achmed or will it be Mohammad, or Mohammad, or Mohammad, or even possibly Achmed Mohammad, or Achmed Mohammad, or Achmed Mohammad...
He is releasing the 9/11 hijackers. They were prepared to kill thousands of Americans and this sob is releasing them!!
Congress? Which Congress? The same Congress filled with RINO pimps that have rubber stamped everything the kenyan usurper has done for the past eight years? Uh huh.
That’s like stocking a lake the week before fishing season opens. It might work out for our special forces and drone operators. Let them start with 22 targets who are off their game and then work their way up.
Treason and sedition.
Last minute try like Jimmah Carter.
The minute one of them commits jihad there should be an arrest warrant out for Obama charging him with treason.
And when they kill people the media will not make the connection.
We have men in harm’s way in the ME and in Europe-where the invaders are going. 0bama is releasing terrorists who will endeavor to kill our people.
Here’s hoping business is very, very good, Mr. Swaggart.
If the president loves you, anything is possible.
Two weeks left to empty Guantanamo and return it to Cuba - his wet dream legacy.....
The wun and his party for the most part would love to see a few thousand more of regular Americans killed off.
Can “being a TRAITOR” be a legacy?
If the president loves you, anything is possible.
These animals are the worst of the worst, bottom of the barrel and include Bin Laden bodyguards, senior bomb-makers and front line fighters. These are in addition to the four prior who were just released yesterday.

Trump should tell Obama that each transfer paper he signs will be considered a death warrant in the new admin.
