Biden transfers 1 man from Guantanamo

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration took a step toward its goal of shutting down the Guantanamo Bay detention centre for terror suspects Monday, releasing into the custody of his home country a Moroccan who’d been held without charge almost since the U.S. opened in 2002.

The transfer of Abdullatif Nasser was the first by the Biden administration, reviving an Obama administration effort that had been stymied by conservative opposition and the difficulty of resolving the remaining few dozen cases, including finding secure sites to send some of the detainees.
