Lawmakers Express Outrage Over Missing Gitmo Transfer

Members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee expressed outrage Thursday about the disappearance of Guantanamo Bay transfer Jihad Ahmed Mustjafa Diyab, who was part of a six-person group released to Uruguay in December 2014.

Chairman Ed Royce, a California Republican, scolded the Obama administration for its agreement to send Diyab and his cohort to the South American country, contending the monitoring and security there was too lax. Royce’s position was the administration should have known that all along.
