Three Guantanamo Bay detainees were transferred out of Cuba this week to Malaysia and Kenya, the Pentagon announced, leaving 27 remaining at the facility.
"Pursuant to a pretrial agreement between the U.S. and the two men, each has cooperated with the U.S. Government and has provided deposition testimony available for use against the alleged mastermind, Encep Nurjaman, of the Al Qaeda-affiliated attacks on nightclubs in Bali, Indonesia in 2002, and the attack on the J.W. Marriott Hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2003," the DOD said in a statement. Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
"On June 13, 2024, in accordance with the pretrial agreements, the Convening Authority approved sentences of confinement for approximately five years for each and recommended that both men be repatriated or transferred to a third-party sovereign nation to serve the remainder of the approved sentence," the department added.
