The United States released two Pakistani brothers who were detained at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba for two decades. Abdul and Mohammed Rabbani were arrested by Pakistan officials in 2002 on suspicions of relations with terrorist group Al-Qaeda, CBS News reported. U.S. officials then accused them of helping Al-Qaeda members and transferred them to Guantanamo Bay in 2004. The brothers’ release is part of an ongoing campaign by the Biden administration to close the prison facility, CNN reported.
