哥伦比亚证实美国要求其接收关塔那摩囚犯

 　　BOGOTA, March 27 (Xinhua) -- Colombian Foreign Minister Maria Angela Holguin confirmed on Thursday that the U.S. Government has asked Colombia to receive some detainees from Guantanamo Bay, Colombia's El Tiempo daily network reported.

　　According to Holguin, Colombia has not yet given a response to the request because it has not analyzed¹ the implications of such a decision. U.S. President Barack Obama has pledged to close the detention² centre, located in Cuba, and free the 154 remaining prisoners.

　　"We have heard carefully the request from the U.S., we have not advanced absolutely anything with them on this issue... we have not responded on this issue," Minister Holguin said.

　　The official added that Colombia fully³ understands the need for Guantanamo Bay detainees to continue with their lives and welcomes the U.S. approach.

　　Holguin's statement was given shortly after Colombia's Minister of Justice Alfonso Gomez Mendez said Colombia would not take in detainees given the overcrowding in the country's prisons.

　　Speaking in response to an article by Uruguayan magazine Busqueda claiming Colombia and Brazil could agree to take in prisoners from the U.S. military base, he said: "No, I do not know, I am not aware of this, and I know that in the Foreign Minister does not know about this issue."

　　The only country in the region to have so far confirmed the request from U.S. President Barack Obama to take in Guantanamo detainees is Uruguay. President Jose Mujica said the country would host five of them.

　　Guantanamo Bay has been used since 2002 to hold terrorist suspects captured after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, but drew criticism for holding many prisoners without trial or bringing charges against them.

　　Since taking office, Obama has taken steps such as resettling detainees to reduce the number of prisoners to 154.
