Mother said Josh Powell threatened her
WASHINGTON, June 11 (UPI) -- Four Muslim Uighurs have been released from the U.S. Guantanamo Bay detainment camp after seven years, Radio Free Asia reports.
The four men, part of a larger group of 17 Chinese Muslims detained after the 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, flew to Bermuda early Thursday, officials said.
The four released men were identified as Abdulla Abduqadir, 30; Helil Mamut, 31; Ablikim Turahun, 38; and Salahidin Ablehet, 32. Location of the other 13 Uighurs was not immediately known.
The report said most of the Uighurs held at the facility for suspected terrorists were cleared more than four years ago of being "enemy combatants."
