WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 (UPI) -- The U.S. government plans to repatriate six Yemenis held at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, military prison, officials said.
The release is the first step in addressing the future of the 97 Yemenis at Guantanamo -- the largest group of detainees at the prison -- and a key element in meeting President Barack Obama's goal of closing the facility, The Washington Post reported Friday.
