Anti-terrorism police are drawing up plans for the return to the United Kingdom of the remaining four Britons held as terrorist suspects in Guantánamo Bay.
Four Muslim men have spent up to three years imprisoned in tiny cages without charge or trial. They are expected to be released within days of their arrival back on British soil.

Louise Christian, solicitor for two of the British detainees, said: "The British citizens have now served the equivalent of a six-year prison service, without being told what the charges against them are. They have been tortured and ill-treated."
Until now President Bush has snubbed a personal request from Tony Blair for the release of the Britons, which was made last year.
