Everyone knows, whether they admit it or not, that Joe Biden is not and has not been running the White House for years. Some unelected leftist[s] is/are pulling the strings and Joe is too demented to fully appreciate what he's been signing. All the probably knows is that it's pissing off President-elect Trump and that's good enough for him.
On Monday, the Pentagon announced that it has set free 11 Yemeni prisoners with likely ties to al Qaeda from the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp in Cuba.
The detainees, who have not been charged with any crime, will be resettled in Oman as the Biden administration works to close down operations at Gitmo.
"Although different processes, each of the 10 Yemeni detainees underwent a thorough, interagency review by career professionals who unanimously determined all detainees as transfer eligible consistent with the national security interests of the United States," the Department of Defense claimed.
It's not clear if Biden handler[s] plans to move more detainees [aka likely terrorists] out of Guantanamo Bay before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, but if it hurts America, it's a good bet the person[s] behind the curtain will go ahead with the plan.
The Pentagon announced that D.E.I. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin informed Congress in 2023 of his intent to send the 11 Yemeni detainees back to Oman.
"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," the DoD said.
Moath Hamza Ahmed al-Alwi, thought to be an al Qaeda fighter and bodyguard for Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan, was among the 11 men released. He is known to not be a good guy.
An unclassified 2016 US intelligence file on al-Alwi warns that as a GITMO detainee he "has made several statements since early 2016 that suggest he maintains an extremist mindset."
The file also notes that al-Alwi has committed several disciplinary infractions while in detention that were "pardoned" as part of an "incentive for detainees to improve their conduct."
Al-Alwi "has made several statements since early 2016 that suggest he maintains an extremist mindset," a 2016 intelligence file on the alleged terrorist reads. DOD
Suhayl Abdul Anam al Sharabi, another alleged bin Laden bodyguard, was also set free.
Al Sharabi's 2020 intelligence file notes that he "may have been associated with an aborted 9/11-style hijacking plot in Southwest Asia" as a member of al Qaeda. Al Sharabi was accused by the US government of being one of Osama Bin Laden's bodyguards in Afghanistan.
The nine others being released to Oman are: Uthman Abd al-Rahim Muhammad Uthman, Khalid Ahmed Qassim, Hani Saleh Rashid Abdullah, Tawfiq Nasir Awad Al-Bihani, Omar Mohammed Ali al-Rammah, Sanad Ali Yislam Al Kazimi, Hassan Muhammad Ali Bib Attash, Sharqawi Abdu Ali Al Hajj and Abd Al-Salam Al-Hilah.
The latest group of transfers comes after the Pentagon's December announcement that detainee Ridah Bin Saleh al-Yazidi had been resettled in Tunisia.
Fifteen detainees remain at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, of whom three are eligible for transfer and three are eligible to have their detention status reviewed, according to the Pentagon.
Another seven inmates are involved in the military commissions process, and two others have been convicted and sentenced by military commissions.
The Biden administration offered plea deals last year to alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and co-conspirators Walid Bin Attash and Mustafa al-Hawsawi. All three have been held at Guantanamo Bay since 2003.
The deals, criticized by 9/11 families, Republican lawmakers, and the defense secretary, will spare the alleged terrorists from the death penalty.
