Guantanamo manual leaked on web BBC A US military operating manual for the Guantanamo prison camp dating from 2003 has been released on the internet. The 238-page manual gives precise instructions for guards on handling prisoners and running the camp. The US military said the manual seemed authentic but was out of date and should not have been publicly released. About 340 prisoners are still held at Guantanamo, which was opened in 2002 to detain people suspected of terrorism or links to al-Qaeda or the Taleban.
Allegations of abuse at the camp have been lodged by detainees, their lawyers and human rights groups. Calls from both within the US and around the world to close the camp have gone unanswered.
