Second Guantanamo Briton released

Mr Dergoul's lawyer said there was not enough evidence

A second British detainee from Guantanamo Bay has been released without charge, police have said.

Tarek Dergoul, 26, from east London, was released on Wednesday evening, leaving three men being questioned by anti-terrorist officers in London.

His publicist Max Clifford said he had been caught in Afghanistan "in the wrong place at the wrong time".

Lawyers representing the men had attended London's Paddington Green station and demanded their release.

A fifth man, Jamal Udeen, was released without charge on Tuesday night.

The US released the men from prison in Cuba two years after their arrest in Afghanistan on suspicion of terrorism.

Mr Dergoul's publicist, Max Clifford, told BBC News: "His immediate plans are to spend time with his family and then we will take it from there."

He said Mr Dergoul was in a better mental than physical condition.

"He has been incarcerated for two years and is physically in a bad way. He is mentally fragile but okay," he said.

He said a brother of the freed man told him Tarek was "mentally as well as could be expected in the circumstances, but physically he was having real difficulty in walking."

Mr Clifford said Dergoul told relatives he was travelling in Afghanistan when he was captured for being "in the wrong place at the wrong time".

The former care worker, who studied A levels and computing, is the son of a Moroccan baker.

He was a regular worshipper at the Finsbury Park mosque in north London, where Muslim cleric Abu Hamza preached.

It is believed he was captured in the Tora Bora mountains, which was where the US military believed members of the Taleban had fled.

In March 2002 he told his family he was being held in Kandahar.

The former care worker's lawyer, Louise Christian, had argued for his release on Wednesday under the Terrorism Act, which allows for a review of their detention after 24 hours at 1900 GMT.

Gareth Peirce, who represents Shafiq Rasul and Asif Iqbal, said police were "compounding two years of injustice".

She said Tuesday night's procedures had gone on far too long, been unnecessary and protracted with fingerprinting continuing until after midnight.

Mr Rasul, 26, and Mr Iqbal, 22, are being held at the police station along with Ruhal Ahmed, 22, all of Tipton, West Midlands.

The men can be held for up to 14 days without charge under the Terrorism Act 2000.

The four men were arrested by the Metropolitan Police who boarded their flight at RAF Northolt on Tuesday night.

Four other Britons - Feroz Abbasi, 23, Richard Belmar, 23, and Martin Mubanga, 29, all from London, plus Moazzam Begg, 36, from Birmingham - are still detained at Guantanamo Bay.
