French lawyers prepare US court case over Guantanamo
Lawyers for two of the six French nationals detained at the US camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, say they were considering contesting the legality of their detention in the US Supreme Court.

"It is not yet finalised but it should be within 15 days, three weeks," one of the lawyers, William Bourdon told AFP.

The French lawyers plan to go to London later this month to discuss joint efforts with British members of parliament.

Both the foreign ministry and Mr Bourdon confirmed plans to send a French mission to Guantanamo in order to obtain "precise information" about the fate of the six French, even if the trip has been "a bit delayed", the lawyer said.
