Pacific island set to accept Gitmo’s Chinese Muslims

The tiny Pacific island nation of Palau has agreed to accept 17 Chinese Muslims, members of an ethnic group known as Uighurs, who are being held at Guantanamo Bay. The U.S. may reportedly give Palau up to $200 million dollars in exchange for accepting the detainees.
