Pentagon releases Egyptian detainee from Gitmo
2005-10-02
WASHINGTON - The Pentagon said on Saturday it had released a detainee at the US military camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for transfer to Egypt. The Egyptian detainee was “found no longer to be an enemy combatant” by a military tribunal, the US Department of Defense said in a statement.

The Pentagon said 247 prisoners have been released or transferred and about 505 remain in detention. “During the course of the war on terrorism, the department expects that there will be other transfers or releases of detainees,” the statement said.
