The United States Department of Defense confirms that it has detained eight Egyptian nationals at Guantanamo Bay. Since the detention facility's establishment on January 11, 2002, a total of 780 individuals have been held under extrajudicial detention at the Guantanamo Bay detention camps located in Cuba. The detainee count reached its highest point in 2004, with roughly 660 inmates. 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. As of February 24, 2010, the detainee population was recorded at 188.

On February 24, 2010, Carol Rosenberg of the Miami Herald reported that Albania accepted three former detainees: one Egyptian, Sharif Fati Ali al Mishad, along with two others—a Tunisian, Saleh Bin Hadi Asasi, and a Libyan, Rauf Omar Mohammad Abu al Qusin. These individuals are restricted from leaving Albania.
