BERLIN : Germany has not received an official US request to take in Guantanamo detainees, a statement by Germany’s government media department reported on Monday.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel affirmed during a joint European-American meeting held in Prague that the EU support for the transfer of detainees to Germany was only to take effect in case of a US request, it added.
American President Barack Obama announced earlier in Prague that the US would probably shut down the Guantanamo detention camp in Cuba by January 22, 2010, and asked for EU support.(end) sh.aia KUNA 061148 Apr 09NNNN
