Osama Bin Laden's former driver is being moved from Guantanamo Bay to serve the remainder of his sentence in his native Yemen, the Pentagon says, report agencies.
US officials told the BBC the transfer of Salim Hamdan would take place in the coming hours or days.
Hamdan was given a 66-month sentence in August for providing material support to terrorism. He was the first detainee sentenced by a US military commission. His sentence ends on 28 December taking into account time already served. Military prosecutors had called for a minimum sentence of 30 years.
