Mohammed Al-Basha,the spokesman for Yemen Washington embassy stated that Yemen welcomes the U.S. decision over the release of a Yemeni Guantanamo detainee and his transfer back to his homeland.The spokesman highlighted the embassy efforts to release Ala'a Ali Bin Ali Ahmed, detainee 692, from Yemen's port city of Aden, saying it had held talks and meetings with a number of U.S. top officials at the White House, Department of State and the Ministry of Justice to accelerate sending the detainee to his country. A US judge ruled in May to release the Yemeni detainee for lack of evidence for his involvement in terrorist plots and attacks. Ala'a was arrested in 2002 by the Pakistani police in connection with running an al-Qaeda cell.In the meantime, the embassy renewed Yemen's calls on the U.S. to release the remaining Yemeni detainees at the U.S. jail in Cuba. Earlier president Ali Abdullah Saleh urged the U.S. to hand over the files of the Yemeni Gitmo inmates, assuring the US those who could be proved involved in plotting and implementing attacks against the U.S. interests would receive fair trials under the country's law.Saleh also noted that he discussed with U.S. officials the preparation of rehabilitation programs for the detainees. Ala'a is the second Yemeni to be ordered to be freed after Salim Hamdan, Osama Bin Laden's driver, was transferred to Yemen in November 2008. Hamdan was tried under new military commission standards in August and was charged with providing material support for terrorism.He received a 66 month jail sentence after his attorneys recognized his minor role, the decision which surprised U.S. defense officials.Hamdan served about 61 months of his full term at Guantanamo and served out the rest of his term in Yemen after the U.S. authorities agreed to transfer him to his country.Earlier Yemen urged that its detainees should not stay at prison without trial, because laws and international human rights accords never allow such measure.Early this year, the U.S. announced that it was considering sending some or all of the Yemeni detainees to Saudi Arabia as it praised the kingdom's rehabilitation centers and programs. The move was strongly resisted by Yemen, which urged its citizens must be sent home, assuring it would do every thing to ensure their integration back into their society.
