The remains of three men who committed suicide at the US prison at Guantanamo Bay have been sent home, the Pentagon said.

Thirteen al-Qaida and Taliban prisoners at Guantanamo Bay naval base have been without food for five days in a hunger strike that has encouraged scores of others to skip meals, US military officials said today.
