WASHINGTON, Safar 28, 1436, Dec 20, 2014, SPA -- Four Afghans held for over a decade at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have been sent home to Afghanistan, the Pentagon said on Saturday, the latest step in a slow-moving push by the Obama administration to close the facility. The men were flown to Kabul overnight aboard a U.S. military plane and released to Afghan authorities, the first such transfer of its kind to the war-torn country since 2009, according to a U.S. official. -- SPA 19:46 LOCAL TIME 16:46 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
