MANAMA, Bahrain A former detainee in the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay returned home Sunday to Bahrain after being held for five years, officials said.
Salah Abdulrahim al Blooshi was at his family’s home Sunday night, said the head of Bahrain’s public prosecutors office, Nawaf al-Ma’wdah, who declined to provide any additional information about al Blooshi or his release.
Earlier Saturday, al Blooshi’s father, Abdulrahim al Blooshi, thanked the small Persian Gulf country’s king, members of parliament and civil groups including Nabeel Rajab, the former head of the now dissolved Bahrain Center for Human Rights, for his son’s release.
