One-Quarter of Guantanamo Detainees are Saudis
(UPI) John. C.K. Daly - At least 160 of the 650 detainees being held at the U.S. military base at Guantanamo, Cuba, are from Saudi Arabia - almost a quarter of the total. The other top nationalities being held are Yemen with 85, Afghanistan with 80, Pakistan with 82, Jordan and Egypt, each with 30. China has at least 12 its citizens in Guantanamo, although they are all identified as ethnic Uighurs rather than Han Chinese. Nine British citizens and 8 Russians of Muslim background are in Guantanamo. A Yemeni and 6 Algerians in the camp were originally arrested in Sarajevo, Bosnia.
