First Kuwaiti detainee reaches home
KUWAIT, Jan 16: The first of 12 Kuwaitis held at Guantanamo Bay has returned home after more than three years' captivity, a Kuwait-based detainees' committee said on Sunday.
Nasser al-Mutairi arrived in Kuwait city overnight on a jet sent by the Kuwaiti government, head of the Kuwaiti Family Committee Khalid al-Odah told Reuters.
Mutairi was one of a dozen Kuwaiti men imprisoned at the US military prison in Cuba during the 2001 US war to oust Al Qaeda and the Taliban from Afghanistan after the Sept 11 attacks. -Reuters
