US denies Mauritania got 2 Guantanamo prisoners The United States Department of Defense denied claims by a prisoner's rights group in Mauritania, which announced on Saturday that the US had returned three prisoners to the African country, including two men who had been held at the Guantanamo Bay prison.
A federal judge today ordered the government to release Guantanamo detainee and American Civil Liberties Union client Mohammed Jawad, who has been illegally detained by the US for almost seven years.
