From The BBC:

Between 50 and 100 detainees held by the US at Guantanamo Bay cannot be released or put on trial, US Defence Secretary Robert Gates has said.

The fate of those detainees "is still open", Mr Gates told members of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

The detention centre was set up in January 2002 for those captured in the US "war on terror".

Some 245 men are still held. In January President Barack Obama signed an order to close the prison within a year.

The US Justice Department is trying to determine which detainees will be taken by other countries or placed on trial.
