| The last remaining Bahraini prisoner at the US The 41-year-old captive, who has been held without charge or trial for more than five years, is married and has five children, aged from seven to 18, Bahraini media reported. Bahrain Foreign Minister, Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, named the Bahraini national as Isa al-Murbati and said the release of the detainees had been among the country's top priorities in contacts with US officials, a state news agency was reported as saying. Three other Bahrainis, Adel Kamel Hajee, Abdulla Al Nuaimi and Shaikh Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa, were all released from Guantanamo in November 2005, while Salah Al Blooshi was freed and returned to Bahrain in October last year. Some 800 detainees have actually passed through the camp since it opened, and several hundred are still held there. |
