A spokesman for the Sudanese security and intelligence department said a visit by intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Salah Abdullah to Washington during which he discussed the issue of Sudanese prisoners in Guantanamo last April help secure Jadallah's release.
He said the Sudanese government planned to step up efforts to ensure the release of all Sudanese inmates at Guantanamo.
