Germany to accept two Gitmo prisoners

[onpatrol98]

Germany has agreed to take in two Guantanamo Bay prisoners after months of wrangling over security concerns following a US request, Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière announced Wednesday.

Officials said Chancellor Angela Merkel's administration and German state governments, whose co-operation was needed in settling the men from the US prison camp in Cuba, had cleared the impasse. The decision brings to an end a months-long struggle with Washington over the issue.
