Two Kuwaiti detainees at Guantanamo Bay went home this month after a personal plea from the emir of Kuwait to President Bush, an attorney said Thursday. Sheik Sabah Al Ahmed Al Sabah, the newly installed ruler, asked Bush for return of all six of his nationals just after Labor Day during an official visit to Washington, said attorney David Cynamon.
On September 14, the Pentagon announced the release of two of them -- Omar Rajab Amin, 31, and Abdullah Kamel al Kundari, 32, who had been held by the U.S. at Guantanamo since their capture in Afghanistan in early 2002.
