The U.S. announced Thursday that it had transferred Guantanamo detainee Said bin Brahim bin Umran Bakush back to his home country of Algeria.
The Pentagon said in a release Thursday that his detention "was no longer necessary to protect against a continuing significant threat to the national security of the United States."
"In consultation with our partners in Algeria, we completed the requirements for responsible transfer," the Pentagon said, noting that Algeria will continue to provide monitoring, restrict travel and share information on Bakush with the U.S.
