The Pentagon announced on Wednesday the release and repatriation of two Malaysian Guantanamo Bay detainees who pleaded guilty to charges connected to a 2002 bombing of two nightclubs in Bali, Indonesia, that killed 202 people.

Mohammed Farik bin Amin and Mohammed Nazir bin Lep pleaded guilty in January to murder, intentionally causing bodily injury, conspiracy, and destruction of property in violation of the law of war, the Department of Defense (DOD) said.
