Two Pakistani brothers held by the United States at Guantanamo Bay detention facility for two decades were freed and returned home on Friday to be reunited with their families, officials said.
Pakistan arrested Abdul and Mohammed Rabbani on suspicion of links to al-Qaida in 2002 in Karachi, the country’s southern port and largest city. That same year, Ramzi Binalshibh, a top al-Qaida leader, was arrested by Pakistan’s spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence on a tip from the CIA.
The Rabbanis’ releases come months after a 75-year-old Pakistani, Saifullah Paracha, was freed from Guantanamo.
The Foreign Ministry later Friday released a statement welcoming the brothers’ release.
“We are pleased that these Pakistani nationals have finally reunited with their families,” the ministry said, adding that it had “coordinated an extensive inter-agency process to facilitate repatriation” of the two brothers.
Earlier in the day, Pakistani lawmaker Mushtaq Ahmed Khan, chairman of the human rights committee in the upper house of Pakistan’s Parliament, tweeted that the Rabbanis had landed at the Islamabad airport.

Where’s the Awan brothers?
They’re heading to Mexico no doubt. They have a food processing plant to burn down.
yes, that is strange isn’t it? They spied on every member of congress, got caught, and they just disappeared, while they completely corrupt MSM never talked about it. Allegedly Foreign spies with potential free reign to bribe, blackmamil, and control every Congressman. But not worth covering in the news.
Heroes of the New World Order. Praise Allah.

Maybe one of the greatest espionage coups in history, bigger than the Cambridge 5, or the Rosenbergs, or the Lucy spy ring, or Richard Sorge, and it just vanished. No damage assessment that we know of, and the Awan brothers just skated.
Probably much more to these two than the author lets on, if they were involved in the hunger strike at Gitmo.
The hunger strikers there were organized by Massouie associate Aamer Shaker,or Shakir.
Isn’t that nice? The one is even bringing with him to Pakistan the paintings he made while at Gitmo.
