Guantanamo: two more detainees release to old Europe


LISBON - Portugal will accept "two or three" prisoners for resettlement from the U.S. detention camp of Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, state news agency Lusa quoted Foreign Minister Luis Amado as saying Saturday.

In December, Portugal became the first country to press publicly for a coordinated European Union resettlement plan for Guantanamo prisoners. Monday, the EU announced European nations are ready to help Washington and take detainees on a case-by-case basis.
