U.S. Transfers 3 Guantanamo Prisoners to Italy and Serbia
---------------------------------------------------------

76 prisoners remain in the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, after
the U.S. transferred three prisoners in the past 48 hours. Yemeni
citizen Fayiz Ahmad Yahia Suleiman is being sent to Italy after being
approved for transfer nearly six years ago. Yemeni national Mansur Ahmad
Saad al-Dayfi and Tajik national Muhammadi Davlatov were both sent to
Serbia. 27 more prisoners remaining at Guantanamo have already been
approved for release. President Obama promised to close the prison at
the beginning of his first term in office nearly eight years ago.
