The United States Department of Defense confirms the detention of six Bahraini nationals held at Guantanamo.

Since its establishment on January 11, 2002, the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba has confined a total of 778 individuals under extrajudicial detention. The detainee count reached its highest point, around 660, in 2004. Following the United States Supreme Court decision in Rasul v. Bush, only nineteen new prisoners, all classified as "high value detainees," have been transferred to the facility.
