The Los Angeles Times reports the Obama administration is holding talks with Yemeni officials on establishing a facility outside Sana’a to hold prisoners from Guantánamo Bay and Afghanistan. The talks could be one step toward closing Guantánamo, which President Obama has repeatedly vowed to do. More than half of prisoners currently at Guantánamo are from Yemen; many have been held for over a decade without charge or trial. Yemeni officials have reportedly drafted tentative plans for the facility, but a final deal could take months.
