MADRID, Spain - The United States will release two dozen prisoners from Guantanamo Bay in the coming weeks, an American envoy said Friday.



Pierre-Richard Prosper, the U.S ambassador-at-large for war crimes, said several dozen other prisoners will be transferred to the custody of authorities in their native countries.


More than 600 prisoners are being held incommunicado at the U.S. naval base in Cuba, accused of links to al-Qaida or the former Taliban regime in Afghanistan (news - web sites). Some 60 former suspects have been freed and sent home.


"We expect to see almost two dozen individuals released in the coming weeks who no longer pose a threat to the international community," Prosper told a news conference at the U.S. Embassy in Madrid.
