6 Gitmo Prisoners Freed
-----------------------



The news comes as four of the Uyghur prisoners have been released to
Bermuda, where they will live as foreign guest workers. The US is still
in talks to send the remaining thirteen to the Pacific archipelago of
Palau. Two other Guantanamo prisoners were also released Thursday and
sent to their home countries of Iraq and Chad. The Chadian, Mohammed El
Gharani, was the youngest Guantanamo Bay prisoner on record, having been
arrested in Pakistan at the age of fourteen.
