The British police have released the remaining men who returned to the UK from the US detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, along with a group of British nationals. On Wednesday, the police released four of these men without any charges. This release occurred one day after these individuals were interrogated by prosecutors. A fifth individual was also released on Tuesday. Officials did not provide details on why the fifth individual was released. However, one of the previously suspected individuals stated through a spokesperson that when American soldiers arrested him in Afghanistan in 2001, he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Approximately 650 prisoners, including four other British citizens, remain detained at Guantanamo as enemy combatants due to their suspected ties to the terrorist network al-Qaeda or the Taliban.
