Despite Obama campaign promise to close Gitmo, 41 detainees still remain

There will still be 41 detainees left at Guantanamo Bay when President Obama leaves office on Friday, despite his promise during the 2008 presidential campaign to close the detention center in Cuba.

On Thursday, Obama, who has expressed frustration over not being able to deliver on his campaign promise, transferred four more Guantanamo Bay detainees to other countries, according to the Pentagon. Jabran al Qahtani is being transferred to Saudi Arabia, while Ravil Mingazov, Haji Wali Muhammed, and Yassim Qasim Mohammed Ismail Qasim will be directed to the United Arab Emirates.
