The Pentagon sent three more war-on-terror captives home from Guantanamo this weekend -- two to Afghanistan and one to Pakistan, the Defense Department said Tuesday.

In keeping with Pentagon policy, no details were released of the latest transfer from the remote prison camp, which has been soaked by rains from a string of hurricanes buffeting the Caribbean.

The Pentagon announcement said the transfer reduced the detainee population to ''approximately 255'' housed in a series of prison camps at a sprawling complex overlooking the Caribbean.
