Three British al-Qaeda fighters are facing the death penalty

Three British al-Qaeda fighters are facing the death penalty. It is unclear whether they will face military tribunals or criminal trial by jury - but the death penalty is a real possibility and Britain has indicated the US can deal with the Britons in any way they see fit.
UK diplomats have made a formal application for access to the man who has already been taken to the US naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. All three men are believed to be British citizens of Pakistani origin.
