Close Gitmo: Feel Safe?

A Saudi national released from U.S. detention at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in September 2007 is believed to be a key leader in al Qaeda's operations in Yemen, according to a U.S. counterterrorism official.


Ali al-Shiri was released in 2007 from the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.


The Defense Department recently estimated that more than 60 terrorists released from Guantanamo may have returned to the battlefield.
