US drops charges against 5 Guantanamo prisoners

Sent from Express News
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - The Pentagon said Tuesday it has dropped war-crimes charges against five Guantanamo Bay detainees after the former prosecutor in their cases complained that the military was withholding evidence helpful to the defense.

There are no plans to free any of the men, and the military said it could reinstate charges later.
