Two former Guantánamo prisoners thanked Ghana for allowing them to settle in the country following their release, as the president of the West African nation sought to quell fears that the men posed any danger.The two Yemenis, Khalid al Dhuby, 34, and Mahmoud Omar Bin Atef, 36, were held at the U.S. base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, as enemy combatants, accused of training with al-Qaida and fighting with the Taliban.
