The transfer is the largest yet during the Biden administration.
...
In a major development, the Pentagon on Monday announced the transfer 11 Yemeni detainees at Guantanamo Bay to Oman, a move that now leaves only 15 detainees still at the detention facility.
"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," said a DOD statement.
In recent weeks, the Pentagon had transferred out four other detainees from Guantanamo including a detainee who was brought to the detention facility at the base in Cuba the day that it opened, but was never charged.

The transfer of the 11 Yemeni detainees is the largest transfer to take place under President Joe Biden's administration.
Of the remaining 15 detainees still at Guantanamo Bay, three are eligible for transfer; three are eligible for a Periodic Review Board; seven are involved in the military commissions process; and two detainees have been convicted and sentenced by military commissions.
Among the detainees who will remain at Guantanamo is Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attack, who on Friday will appear at a hearing at the base where he is expected to plead guilty in return for the death penalty being withdrawn. The following week, two other 9/11 plotters are expected to plead guilty under the same plea agreement.
Just last week, a military appeals court reaffirmed that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin could not withdraw the plea agreements worked out with Mohammad, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak bin 'Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi.

All of them should have been executed.
After a fair trial of course.

so are they still in locked facilities? How much are USA taxpayers paying this country?
I agree.
They should keep it open and send all the hardened criminals practicing their trade here there for a life time adventure.
Will Biteme give Gitmo to the others on that island?
I forgot to mention they have an actor playing a laid back George W. Bush because the two accidentally get into his house.
“In a major development, the Pentagon on Monday announced the transfer 11 Yemeni detainees at Guantanamo Bay to Oman . . .”
I wouldn’t be surprised to see them on the battlefield again; joining the other terrorists Obama put back into circulation.
Do they return to a heroes welcome in Oman?
Same thing I was thinking.
In June of 1942 two teams of Nazi saboteurs landed on America’s east coast. They were all quickly captured.
Say what you will about FDR. But less than two months after they landed, the saboteurs were tried. Most were then executed. FDR personally made sure that justice was swift.
Contrast that with the prisoners held after 9/11. And also consider Islamist murderers like Fort Hood’s Major Nidal Hasan. Justice is not swift. Instead it’s nonexistent.
And that’s on every president since 9/11, including Trump.
Biden/Obama’s scorched earth policy continues....
Hussein Obiden LOVES Islamic terrorists and HATES J6 hostages. As a matter of fact, Meritless Garbage is considering charging 200 MORE J6'ers!
The new Congress needs to investigate the 'Obama puppet' presidency and hold those accountable for TREASON.
It’s going to be a LONG and PAINFUL two weeks.
The main thing Biden may be attempting to do is to close the facility and cede the land to Cuba. Having an extraterritorial site like that is worth a lot for exactly these purposes. No matter what the ACLU and others say. I think Biden may be making these moves to hamstring Trump, to deny him the ability to use such a facility in the future. Lloyd Austin should be ashamed of himself for not knowing WTF is going on in his own Department.
