From Times Wire Reports
The United States has transferred a Danish national imprisoned at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to Denmark’s custody after receiving assurances the Danes would ensure the man does not pose a further threat, the Pentagon said.
The Danish Embassy in Washington released a statement saying the man, identified by Danish media as Slimane Hadj Abderrahmane, had arrived back in Denmark after the overnight transfer.
The United States has released 93 prisoners from Guantanamo but still holds roughly 650 non-U.S. citizens.
