Navy to Release 3 More From Guantanamo
MIAMI — The U.S. Navy ruled Thursday that three more Guantanamo Bay prisoners had been wrongly classified as enemy combatants by a tribunal process that a federal judge found constitutionally flawed earlier this week.
That brings to six the number found not to be enemy combatants since the United States began sending terrorism suspects to the Guantanamo Bay naval station in southeastern Cuba three years ago.
A Pentagon spokesman, Lt. Cmdr. Daryl Borgquist, would not identify the three or their nationalities, but said the State Department would arrange for them to go home.
The tribunals have ruled that 387 other Guantanamo prisoners were correctly classified as enemy combatants.
