More than 100 prisoners will be released from U.S. custody at the detainment camp in Guantanamo Bay (search), Cuba, and more will follow, military officials said.
It wasn’t clear if the men and boys to be transferred from Guantanamo would face further detention or prosecution in their own countries. The first of two new transfers is scheduled for the end of December, and the other in January, the official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
The official did not say where the prisoners would be sent and a military spokeswoman declined Sunday to provide details about future transfers from the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
