"Guantanamo Bay Detainees Released After 14 Years, Taliban Confirms"

Two Afghan prisoners who were held at Guantanamo Bay for 14 years have been released from house arrest in Oman, with the Taliban claiming credit for their release. The men were initially detained by American forces in 2002 and were later transferred to Oman in 2017, where they spent the next seven years under house arrest. The Guantanamo Bay detention center was established in 2002 to hold and interrogate individuals suspected of having links to al-Qaida or the Taliban, but it became notorious for reports of detainee mistreatment.
