'The US has allowed our team to visit Guantanamo Bay and meet Pakistani prisoners there,' Pakistan's private Geo TV quoted interior minister Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao as saying in Peshawar, the capital of Northwestern Frontier Province (NWFP).
There are 29 Pakistanis imprisoned at the Guantanamo Bay. They had been arrested while fighting alongside the radical Taliban against the US-led international coalition in Afghanistan in late 2001.
Sherpao said of the 29, eight were to be released soon while 'our team will visit the US shortly before travelling to Cuba to meet remaining the 21.'
