2 dangerous Al-qaeda detainees from Guatanamo  Bay, sent by US  to neighbouring Ghana

According to Fox News, Pentagon has announced
the transfer of two Guantanamo Bay inmates
with Al Qaeda ties, to Nigeria’s neighboring
country of Ghana and will be kept in the custody
of the government.
The 2 inmates are first in a wave of 17 detainees
expected to be transferred from the prison
camp. The profile of the two inmates as follows:
Mahmud Umar Muhammad Bin Atef, admitted
to being a member of the Taliban and bought
on the side of Osama Bin Laden and has
spent close to 14 years at the Guantanamo
bay. He had threatened to kill US citizens on
multiple occasions, including a threat to cut
their throats upon his release,according to
Wiki Leaks dockets.
Khalid Muhammad Salih Al-Dhuby, trained
with Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and also spent
about 14 years in Guantanamo.
Ghana’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement
Wednesday, that the two “have been cleared of
any involvement in any terrorist activities” but
are unable to return to Yemen.
The ministry added that they will be able to leave
the country after two years.
Ghana’s foreign ministry said that all those being
allowed into the country will have their activities
monitored.
“We are aware of the need to protect the
security and safety of our own residents and are
taking all the necessary steps to make sure that
is done,” it said.
Ghana’s foreign ministry said it is taking these
actions in recognition of its responsibility as a
member of the international community.
But there is a reference of failure of similar
transfer program before;
This is a reference to the administration’s
transfer of Ibrahim al Qosi to Sudan in 2012.
Despite entering a “re-integration program,”
the one-time cook for Usama bin Laden has
now fled to Yemen, where he is among the
leadership of Al Qaeda in Yemen. That
transfer is now said to be a source of
considerable heartburn for the Obama
administration.
The administration will not identify the detainees
until they are relocated in their new home
countries — because knowing who they are in
advance would create further roadblocks and
increase the controversy. The Fox News source
said that ‘multiple countries have agreed to take
the men, in small groups, and the source said
some of the countries were so-called first timers
— a reference to the fact those countries had
not taken Guantanamo detainees in the past.’
America has said they are no longer considered
threats ‘but they have been wrong before’ says a
reporter with Fox News.
Nigeria should be on the alert as Boko Haram is
said to have ties with dreaded Al-Qeada and
ISIS. We hope not.
