Soddies spring GTMO returnees
 Five Saudis who were held at the U.S military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, before they were handed over to Saudi security officials, have been released, the Saudi Interior Ministry said Tuesday. The Saudi Press Agency quoted an unnamed official as saying the five were released after they underwent "the regular procedures and completed the prison terms which they received according to court verdicts." The report did not name the five, say when they were handed to Saudi authorities or for how long they were detained in Guantanamo and in Saudi jails. Last month, the United States released three Saudi men from Guantanamo to Saudi custody. American lawyers representing Saudi detainees at Guantanamo said in June that 124 Saudis were held there.
