US sends three Guantanamo inmates to Slovakia

Washington - The United States has sent three detainees of the Guantanamo Bay prison to Slovakia, part of a continuing effort to close the controversial facility, the Justice Department said Monday. The names of the detainees were not released for security reasons at the request of the Slovakian government. The transfer took place on Sunday, the department said.

President Barack Obama missed a self-imposed deadline of January 22 to close the detention facility for terrorism suspects in Cuba. More than 190 inmates still remain at Guantanamo.
