The Pentagon announced on Monday that 11 Yemeni men who had been held at the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo Bay without charge for over two decades have been transferred to Oman. This move marks the latest effort by the Biden administration to clear Guantanamo of detainees who were never charged with a crime.
With this transfer, the total number of detainees at Guantanamo now stands at 15, the lowest since 2002 when the detention site was established by the George W. Bush administration in response to the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. The detainees were primarily individuals captured during the U.S. 'war on terror,' which included military operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other locations.
