Four Guantanamo detainees transferring to Saudi Arabia, as part of final wave
If anyone thinks this bastard cares anything about this country....
White House expected to release more Gitmo prisoners
Four Gitmo detainees are slated to be transferred to Saudi Arabia in the next 24 hours, the first of the final wave of up to 20 transfers expected before Inauguration Day, two U.S. officials tell Fox News.
The identities of the four detainees are not immediately known.
The transfers are proceeding despite renewed opposition from President-elect Donald Trump, who tweeted on Tuesday: “There should be no further releases from Gitmo. These are extremely dangerous people and should not be allowed back onto the battlefield.”
The Pentagon said Gitmo transfers would continue over Trump’s objection.
