BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The U.S. military released nine Iranian detainees to the Iraqi government Friday who "no longer pose a security risk" and have no "intelligence value," a military statement said.
Rear Adm. Gregory Smith told press, Wednesday, two of the released detainees were among the Ibril five.
Once in Iraqi custody the U.S. military said the nine, who are among 20 Iranians being held in U.S. custody, would be transferred to Iran's embassy in Baghdad, and then to the neighboring Islamic Republic.
