By a Staff Writer
JEDDAH, 31 August The parents of two Saudis held at a US military base in
Cuba have expressed happiness over efforts made by the Saudi authorities to
win freedom for their sons.
The two Saudi fathers told Al-Watan daily that they had received letters
from their sons Jaber Hasan Al-Qahtani, 24, and Abdullah Hamid Al-Mosleh,
23, in Guantanamo.
"They said they were in good health and were treated well by the
Americans," the daily quoted the parents as saying.
In their letters, Jaber and Abdullah expressed optimism that their ordeal
would end soon.

AU's Hicks and Habib are incommunicado,no lawyers,no letters.
US authorities have refused to give the detainees in Guantanamo
prisoner-of-war status as set out under the Geneva Conventions and are
reserving the right to present them before secret US military tribunals
that have the power to impose the death penalty.
