Britons freed from Guantanamo face more questioning
UK anti-terror police are expected to begin questioning four Britons released from US custody at Guantanamo Bay. Moazzam Begg, Martin Mubanga, Feroz Abbasi and Richard Belmar were held for three years, accused of al-Qaeda links.
Police said they had a duty to investigate the men, who were arrested on their return to the UK. But Metropolitan Police Commis-sioner Sir John Stevens said evidence obtained by MI5 while the four were in Cuba was "absolutely" inadmissible in UK courts.
In an interview with the Independent, Sir John said his officers would have to find other evidence before the suspects could be tried in the UK.

"The options are: if there is enough evidence they will be charged. If not they will be released as soon as possible."
