Algerian FM: Gunatanamo detainees released for health conditions

Algerian Foreign Affairs Minister Mourad Medelci said two Algerian detainees at Guantanamo Bay were actually released as confirmed by the Pentagone.

• Beside spring session closure of Algeria’s Parliament, Medelci indicated that health troubles are behind the release.
• On the other hand, there is no confirmation whether the released Algerians joined their families or not.
• Earlier, Human Rights Watch announced that the released Algerians are reported missing while the International Red Cross in charge of this file did not issue any official statement on their situation.
• Press attaché at the Red Cross told Echorouk that the Algerians had been released and Algeria gave the Cross guarantees to well treat them.
• The future of the 15 remaining Algerian detainees in Guantanamo is still mysterious, according to Medelci.
