UK seeks Guantanamo men release

The UK government has requested the release of five
British residents from US custody at Guantanamo Bay.

The men are not British citizens but lived in the UK
before they were detained by the US.

The request is a change of policy for the government
which had previously said it could not intercede for
non-British citizens.

Foreign Secretary David Miliband formally wrote to his
US counterpart Condoleezza Rice with the request.

The five men are Shaker Abdur-Raheem Aamer, Jamil
el-Banna, Omar Deghayes, Binyam Mohammed al Habashi
and Abdulnour Sameur.
