Saudi Arabia releases 9 Gitmo detainees Tue Aug 29, 4:48 PM ET RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Saudi Arabian authorities have released nine men who were previously held at the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as terror suspects, a Saudi security official said Tuesday. The nine were part of a group of 37 Saudis held in Guantanamo and handed over by the United States to the Saudi government, Interior Ministry spokesman Mansour al-Turki said. He said they were released after investigations showed they were not involved in any criminal acts based on Saudi laws. In May, the Saudis released three of the returned prisoners after clearing them of any wrongdoing. Of the 450 men suspected of terror links still being held at Guantanamo, about 83 are Saudis. The Saudi government has previously said it hopes Washington hands them over.
