The Pentagon on Monday returned to Tunisia a detainee held at the United States' military base at Guantanamo Bay, in Cuba, since 2002. 

The Defense Department said Ridah Bin Saleh al-Yazidi, 59, was repatriated to the government of Tunisia after he was "determined transfer-eligible by a rigorous interagency review process established by [a] 2009 Executive Order."
