Congress passes Guantanamo bill

[demoleft]

"The US Congress has cleared the way for the government to continue to transfer inmates held at the Guantanamo camp in Cuba to the US but only to face trial.

The Senate vote, which follows approval in the House last week, clears one of the hurdles facing President Barack Obama as he seeks to close Guantanamo.

But the measure does not allow those convicted to be imprisoned in the US nor permit those cleared to stay.

Mr Obama has set a 22 January deadline for closing the detention centre."
