Two British terror suspects held by the US at Guantanamo Bay will not face death penalty, UK government's chief legal advisor Lord Goldsmith confirmed late on Tuesday. The two UK nationals aged twenty-three and thirty-five would not be executed even if they were tried and found guilty, Goldsmith said. He made the announcement after talks in Washington with officials from the US Defense Department and other departments. Lord Goldsmith said his objective in the talks had been to ensure that all nine UK detainees in Guantanamo received "fair trials that meet generally recognised principles, wherever those trials take place".
