Saudi Arabia releases 9 Guantanamo returnees
RIYADH (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia has released 9 former inmates of Guantanamo Bay where they were being held on suspicion of belonging to al Qaeda, an official said on Tuesday.

The United States this year sent 29 Saudis back home after negotiating a framework agreement with Saudi Arabia for the return of its citizens. Saudi officials had said they were reviewing whether they should face charges in their homeland.

"Nine of them have been released. They were investigated and we didn't find any wrongdoing in relation to local laws," said Interior Ministry spokesman Mansour al-Turki.

"There is no evidence (against them)," he said, adding that there is no agreement with Washington obliging Saudi Arabia to keep them incarcerated. He gave no more details.

1. Bemildred, this is such an important story.
Should it be cross-posted in LBN? I'm afraid it will get lost in this forum.

The enormity of what the US regime is doing to human beings in Guantanamo needs this light cast on it.

2. Feel free to post in LBN if you like.
But the clock is ticking, do it pretty soon.
