A Pakistani national held by the United States for 18 years in the Guantanamo Bay prison camp without trial on suspicion of links to Al Qaeda returned home to Pakistan. A Karachi based business man Saifullah Paracha, was first picked up in Thailand in July 2003 and taken to the US military base at Bagram, Afghanistan, before being transferred in 2004 to the camp. “We are glad that a Pakistani citizen detained abroad is finally reunited with his family,” the Pakistani Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
