Convicted al-Qaida operative released from Guantanamo, repatriated to Sudan
MIAMI (MCT) — The United States sent home to Sudan on Tuesday one of Guantanamo’s longest-held prisoners, a 52-year-old confessed al-Qaida foot soldier and sometime driver for Osama bin Laden whose release was seen as a crucial test case of the Barack Obama-era war court.
Ibrahim al-Qosi pleaded guilty to terror charges in July 2010 in exchange for the possibility of release after serving a two-year sentence.
