More detainees from the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba are transferred off the island and sent to Africa.
FOX’s Jon Decker has more from the White House:
Mahmud Umar Muhammad Bin Atef, and Khalid Muhammad Salih Al-Dhuby were transferred from Guantanamo to the Government of Ghana.
Bin Atef is an admitted member of the Taliban and fought for Osama bin Laden. Al-Dhuby trained with Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. Both detainees spent close to 14 years at Guantanamo.
The Pentagon determined that bin Atef was a high risk to the U.S. and American interests, while Al-Dhuby posed a medium risk.
With the announcement of this latest transfer, 105 detainees remain at Guantanamo Bay.
At the White House, Jon Decker, FOX News.
