30 Gitmo Detainees Cleared For Release

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder says about 30 detainees have been cleared for release from Guantanamo Bay.

Holder met with reporters in Germany ahead of a speech appealing for Europe's help to close the U.S. military detention facility.

The attorney general says the United States has not decided which detainees it wants to send to specific countries, adding that those decisions are weeks away.

There are 241 prisoners at Guantanamo, and Holder has been visiting European leaders this week asking for help relocating detainees and shuttering the detention site over the next nine months.

Ivan Langer, the Czech Minister of Interior, told The Associated Press Tuesday he believes some European nations will accept Guantanamo detainees, but not his country.

Previewing his later speech, Holder says closing the detention facility is a shared responsibility for the U.S. and Europe.
