Arabia
Saudi Gitmo Detainees Get Gift
2007-10-07
Ain't that sweet? Are they letting the people they killed come out of the grave for a few days, too?
The Saudi Arabian government will temporarily release 55 prisoners recently transferred from the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and will give each of them about $2,600 to celebrate the upcoming Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, a newspaper reported Saturday.

Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz granted the temporary releases from detention centers in Saudi Arabia so the prisoners could spend time with their families during the holiday in mid-October, the Okaz newspaper reported. They will return to the jihad in Iraq or Sudan police custody after the holiday and will be referred to Saudi courts at end of this month for upcoming trials, the paper said.
