April 20, 2006/ Tron Nick

The US Department of Defense on Wednesday released the first official list of prisoners [PDF] held at Guantanamo Bay, including the names of people who were the earliest detainees at the detention facility. The Pentagon released the list of 558 detainees in response to a Freedom of Information Act [text; summary] lawsuit filed in March by the Associated Press that had sought the release of records and identities of all Guantanamo detainees. The detainees came from 41 countries with the greatest numbers coming from Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and Yemen.
