U.S. Repatriates 2 Guantánamo Prisoners to Saudi Arabia 
---------------------------------------------------------


 
The United States has repatriated two Guantánamo prisoners to Saudi
Arabia four years after they were both recommended for transfer. The two
men had been held for nearly a dozen years without trial. Meanwhile, the
Sudanese government says it expects the last two Guantánamo prisoners
from Sudan to be transferred there by Wednesday. Those transfers would
bring the total number of prisoners at Guantánamo to 158 after two
prisoners were sent to Algeria against their will earlier this month.
