Guantanamo may host executions From correspondents in Washington January 25, 2006 Source: AFP
NEW US military rules mean executions of condemned "war on terror" detainees could be carried out at the US naval base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, the US army said.
The new rules authorize the army to set the location for executions "imposed by military courts-martial or military tribunals and authorised by the president of the United States".
"Enemy combatants could be affected by this regulation," said Sheldon Smith, a spokesman for the US Army.
About 500 foreign terrorism suspects, including Australian David Hicks, are being held at the US naval base in Cuba.
