A suspected enemy combatant could soon be a free man. Officials have held Yasar Hamdi for more than two years at the Naval Consolidated Brig. But officials say he can now be allowed to return to Saudi Arabia. The agreement was apparently struck with the justice department. Hamdi will not face any criminal charges in the United States.

Meantime, Hamdi's lawyer says the agreement that his client signed last week calls for Hamdi to renounce his American citizenship. Hamdi agreed to restrictions barring travel to certain countries. The US captured Hamdi on a battlefield in Afghanistan where he was fighting alongside the Taliban in late 2001.

At this moment there is no information on when he will be released. The US Supreme Court says authorities can't hold Hamdi indefinitely as an enemy combatant with no legal rights
