Ex-Detainees to pose security threat?--US didnt tell Govt about WikiLeaks report Hanna tetteh reveals
WikiLeak reports about the detainees in Ghana reveals they were actively involved in the operations of the terror group, AI Qaeda.The revelation is in contrast with claims by the Ghanaian government that they pose no threat to the security of Ghana.
In a recent press conference Mahama replying question on the ex-detainees said there nothing to fear and that we should be scared of road accidents more than the detainees.The Ghanaian government is now seeking further clarification from the United States following revelations in the WikiLeaks report that the two ex-Guantanamo Bay inmates in Ghana are of a "high security risk" contrary to information provided by the US government.
Speaking to Nii Arday Clegg on the Morning Starr Friday, Foreign Affairs Minister Hanna Tetteh said the WikiLeaks risk assessment report on the two individuals were not made available to the Ghanaian government in the year-long discussions with the US over the freed inmates.
In her words
“…The information in the public domain is one that I respect hence my decision to seek clarification. I am waiting for a response... When it comes, I will make it available to the Ghanaian people. I have asked the US Embassy for clarification. The document that was made available to us was the assessment of the two detainees… the information from WikiLeaks was not part of documents available to us,” she said.
