Guantanamo Britons 'to be freed'

BBC | January 11 2005

Four Britons held by the US in Guantanamo Bay could be returned to the UK within days, US defence sources say.

Moazzam Begg, from Birmingham, and Martin Mubanga, Richard Belmar and Feroz Abbasi, from London, have been held by the US for more than two years.

They were detained in the Cuban camp as part of the US-led "war on terror".

The Foreign Office said it had been "seeking to address" US security fears over their possible release. There has been no official announcement.

It is expected the men would be handed over to British police and questioned under the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act.

But BBC correspondent Ian Pannell in Washington said the men's families would now be awaiting an official announcement. "There have been hopes raised before and dashed," he said.

A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We have been in regular contact with the US over the four British detainees.

"We have made clear that either the detainees should be tried in accordance with international standards or returned home.

"We have been seeking to address the security concerns of the US over the possible return of the four detainees."
