The U.S. has repatriated a Kenyan man who was held for 17 years without charge at the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Mohammed Abdul Malik Bajabu was returned to Kenya, leaving 15 other individuals who have also been cleared of wrongdoing still awaiting release.
Following the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States by al-Qaida, the George W. Bush administration established a military court and prison at the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo Bay to handle detainees captured in the U.S. 'war on terror.'
