SANA, Yemen — The attorney for Osama bin Laden’s former driver says his client has been released from a Yemeni prison after serving out his sentence.
Lawyer Khaled Al-Anas said Salim Hamdan was released Friday. A Yemeni Interior Ministry official confirmed the release but said it happened Saturday.
A U.S. military tribunal convicted Hamdan in August of aiding al-Qaeda and sentenced him to 5 1/2 years in prison. He had already served five years and a month at Guantanamo Bay prison at the time.
