SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- Two detainees at the U.S. military prison at
Guantanamo Bay _ an Afghan and a Moroccan _ have been transferred
to the custody of their native countries, authorities said Thursday.

The men were flown out of the U.S. Naval base in southeastern Cuba on
Tuesday, according to Guantanamo spokesman Navy Cmdr. Rick Haupt.

They were allowed to leave after a military review of whether the
prisoners have intelligence value or pose a threat to the United States.
The military does not provide details about individual cases.
