KUWAIT (Reuters) - Two Kuwaiti men held at a U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay will be released after more than four years in captivity and may return home by the end of next week, the head of a non-governmental lobby group said on Sunday.

Khaled al-Odah told Reuters that Washington had informed Kuwaiti officials of the imminent release of the two prisoners, identified as Omar Rajab Amin and Abdullah Kamel al-Kandari.

The cabinet said after its weekly meeting that two Kuwaitis would be released from Guantanamo following mediation by the Gulf Arab country's emir, who visited Washington earlier this month.

It did not name the two but said all Kuwaiti prisoners stand a fair trial under Kuwaiti law after returning from Guantanamo.
