BBC-Algerian detainee Lakhdar Boumediene has left the US-run Guantanamo Bay camp for France, officials say.

Mr Boumediene was arrested in Bosnia in 2001 and was held for seven years. He was cleared for release in November.

He won a landmark Supreme Court case granting Guantanamo inmates the right to challenge their confinement.

The release comes on the same day that US President Barack Obama is expected to announce that he is reviving military trials for some detainees.
