Britons held at Camp Delta may not face trial

THE US has agreed to suspend the threat of secret military hearings against two British terror suspects, pending talks between legal authorities on both sides of the Atlantic, a Downing Street spokesman said yesterday.

Attorney General Lord Goldsmith will begin negotiations with American authorities over the fate of Feroz Abbasi, 23, from London, and Moazzam Begg, 35, from Birmingham.

Both had been on US President George W Bush’s list of six suspects who could face secret trials conducted by the American military commissions at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
