More Guantanamo Detainees Returning to the Battlefield, Sources Say

foxnews.com

The number of former Guantanamo Bay detainees returning to the battlefield has jumped significantly since last spring, sources with knowledge of the Pentagon's estimates tell Fox News.

Three sources told Fox News that the percentage of released detainees who have either returned to the fight, or are suspected of having returned, has jumped to at least 20 percent in the Pentagon's latest count, from 14 percent in April.

The development comes as President Obama suspends the transfer of Yemeni detainees to their home country in the wake of the attempted bombing of a Detroit-bound flight on Christmas. A Yemen-based offshoot of Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the plot.

But while the administration continues to face criticism over its plans to close the Guantanamo prison, the president insists he eventually will do so.
