LONDON, Jan 28: One of the Britons being held at the Camp X-Ray detention centre at the US naval base in Cuba must have been brainwashed, or the victim of a wrongful arrest, relatives of the man claimed.

The foreign office confirmed on Sunday that Britons Shafiq Rasul, 24, and Asif Iqbal, 20 — both from central England — were being held at the Camp X-Ray detention center at Guantanamo Bay after being seized in Afghanistan.

A third British detainee had been named earlier and newspaper reports said yet more Britons were being held at the controversial US naval base.

Two of Shafiq Rasul’s four brothers, speaking in front of the family home in Tipton described their younger brother as “very Westernised” and said he had condemned the Sept 11 terrorist attacks on the WTC.—AFP
