From Times Wire Reports
Five Kuwaitis who had been held in U.S. custody at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, prison camp, including one who had been on a three-month hunger strike, returned home early today.
Khaled Odah, who heads a private group that rallies for the release or trial of Kuwaiti prisoners at Guantanamo, said the men would be taken to a hospital for checkups before meeting with officials for questioning.
The five were recommended for the transfer by a review board. They could still face criminal proceedings in Kuwait.
