The US Department of Defense [7] (DoD) announced Sept. 22 that it had transferred [8] Guantánamo Bay detainee Abdul Shalabi [9]. Shalabi, who likely was a bodyguard for Osama Bin Laden [10], was transferred to the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia after a Periodic Review Board [11] determined in June that, although he may still sympathize with extremists, his continued detention did "not remain necessary to protect against a continuing significant threat to the security of the United States." Today 114 detainees remain at Guantánamo Bay.
