    Oman agrees to accept 10 Yemeni ex-Guantanamo inmates

    Ten Yemeni former inmates at the US detention center in Guantanamo Bay arrived in Oman Thursday for a "temporary stay" as Washington moves to close the notorious prison, Muscat's foreign ministry said, according to AFP.

    Oman has received the men "in response to a request by the US administration for help to resolve the issue of detainees at Guantanamo Bay," the ministry said in a statement carried by state news agency ONA.

    The statement did not give further details.
