SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Three Guantanamo prisoners were flown to Bosnia on Tuesday and released to their families in the first detainee transfer ordered by a U.S. federal judge, according to local police and an attorney for the men.
A judge in Washington ordered the release of the Algerian-born men last month, saying the U.S. government’s case was not strong enough to continue holding them. The order came in the first hearing on the Bush administration’s evidence for keeping prisoners at the U.S. Navy base in eastern Cuba as “enemy combatants.” The Algerians were detained in 2001 on suspicion of plotting to bomb the U.S. Embassy in Sarajevo.
