4 Afghan detainees from Guantanamo Bay were sent back to their home country, The Associated Press reported.
The transfer is a sign of U.S. government’s confidence in new Afghan President Ashraf Ghani.
The Defense Department identified the detainees as Mohammed Zahir, Shawali Khan, Abdul Ghani and Khi Ali Gul. Eight Afghans are among the 132 detainees remaining at Guantanamo.
