Uruguay leader open to Guantanamo detainees

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay (AP) — Uruguay’s president indicated Thursday he’s open to taking some former terror suspects still held at Guantanamo, but the U.S. ambassador in the country cautioned that no agreement has been reached.

“If the inmates of Guantanamo want to make their nests in Uruguay, they can do it,” President Jose Mujica told Channel 10’s “Subrayado” program while at a farm fair in rural Uruguay. But he said he told his negotiators that he “would not be their jailer.”
