Guantanamo group of 47 'should be held indefinitely'
The US has just missed a deadline to close the prison camp
A task force on the US prison camp at Guantanamo Bay has advised that 47 inmates should be held indefinitely without trial, officials say.
It is thought to be the first time that officials have given a figure for those who might be held without charge.
Some 35 prisoners have been recommended for prosecution through trials or military commissions.
The news came as the deadline US President Barack Obama had set himself for closing the prison camp passed.
The task force, led by the US justice department, recommended that while 35 people could be prosecuted, 110 could be released either now or at a later date, unnamed officials said.

Rechtstaat, Grondwet, Conventie van Geneve, Mensenrechten?
Heeft Obama er wel iets over te zeggen of moet de president van de USA zich gewoon neerleggen bij de beslissingen van het Pentagon?
