RABAT (Reuters) - Five Moroccans sent home from the Guantanamo U.S. military camp
in 2004 were acquitted on Friday of terrorism charges levelled at them on their return.

The five were accused of criminal gang membership, failure to denounce crimes harming
state security, funding criminal organisations and passport forgery.

They were acquitted by Rabat's criminal appeal court, Moroccan state news agency MAP said.

The U.S. government, a staunch ally of the North African kingdom, has repatriated nine
Moroccans from Guantanamo since August 2004 and all of them were put on trial.
