| IMMEDIATE RELEASE | September 22, 2004 |
Transfer of Detainees Completed
The Department of Defense announced today that it transferred 10 detainees from Afghanistan to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The decision to transfer a detainee to Guantanamo is based on their further intelligence value to the United States and whether they continue to pose a threat to the United States.
These detainees will be subject to the same review processes for continued detention as all other detainees currently at Guantanamo.
As a result of this latest transfer, there are now approximately 549 detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Because of operational and security considerations, no further details can be provided.
