A Pakistani national held by the United States for 18 years in the Guantanamo Bay prison camp without trial on suspicion of links to al Qaeda returned home to Pakistan on Saturday after being the oldest prisoner at the detention facility. Saifullah Paracha, 75, was first captured in Thailand in July 2003 and taken to the U.S. military base at Bagram, Afghanistan, before being transferred in 2004 to the camp in the U.S naval station in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.Authorities alleged he was an Al-Qaeda 'facilitator' who helped two of the conspirators in the Sept. 11 plot with a financial transaction after the attacks.
