The Biden administration freed its first detainee from Guantanamo Bay, two decades after he was captured, and five years after he was cleared for release.
Abdul Latif Nasser, 56, was repatriated on Monday to his native Morocco and given to government custody, The New York Times reported.
He was captured in 2001 by Pakistani agents, and had been in Guantanamo since 2002.
The US accuses him of involvement with the Taliban, but, like many Guantanamo detainees, he was never charged with a crime.
US officials allege that he met Osama bin Laden in 1995 and that he trained in al-Qaida training camps, ABC News reported.
He said in 2016 that he "deeply regrets his actions of the past," though did not elaborate on what they were.
Nasser was recommended for release out of Guantanamo in 2016, the Times reported, so long as he stayed under security in Morocco."
Absolutely deplorable and as a result of the lawlessly hacked in tyrant tRump running a crimes against humanity cartel that, in particular, enabled the covid murder of over 600,000 Americans, establishing concentration camps in the U.S. in violation of U.S. Constitutional law at separating immigrant families, caging children and doing other untold atrocities against immigrant men, women and children is no worse than this atrocity. tRump and his un American and sewer conspiring cartel should be thrown in Gitmo and throw away the key!
