The United States has announced the release of a Saudi engineer from the notorious Guantanamo military prison, who was seized over two decades ago as a suspect in the September 11, 2001 Al Qaeda attacks but never charged. Ghassan Al Sharbi, 48, was detained in Faisalabad, Pakistan with an Al Qaeda associate in March 2002. He was targeted because he had studied at an aeronautical university in Arizona and had attended flight school with two of the Al Qaeda high-jackers in the 9/11 plot.
