Two Britons captured as part of the US "war on terror"...

Two Britons captured as part of the US "war on terror" and held at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba will not face the death penalty, British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said.
The United States appeared to have bowed to pressure from London over the fate of the Britons after two days of talks in Washington headed by Britain's Attorney General Peter Goldsmith. Straw said that he would now be pressing for any Britons convicted before a US military tribunal to be sent home to serve their jail terms.
"The US have agreed they will not seek the death penalty," Straw told BBC radio, adding: "It is quite usual for prisoners convicted in one tribunal in one country to serve their sentence in the country of origin.
London and Washington were discussing two sets of options, Straw said. "One is that they (the detainees) return to the UK, the second is that if they face trial, they have to face trial with standards which are accepted for trials of anybody facing such serious charges.
"In a move earlier in July which unleashed a torrent of international criticism, the US announced an initial list of six foreign suspects held at its military base at Guantanamo, including Britons Feroz Abbasi, 23, and Moazzam Begg, 35, who could face secret trials before a military commission.
Washington said all six were members of al-Qaeda, the group blamed for the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington, or otherwise involved in "terrorism".
