Tarek Dergoul, 26, was released earlier.

A fifth man, Jamal Udeen, was released without charge Tuesday night.

The United States released the men from prison in Cuba two years after their arrest in Afghanistan on suspicion of terrorism.

Four other Britons -- Feroz Abbasi, 23, Richard Belmar, 23, and Martin Mubanga, 29, all from London, and Moazzam Begg, 36, from Birmingham -- are still detained at Guantanamo Bay.

British Home Secretary David Blunkett has indicated the men will probably face trial in the United States ,since they were captured in the combat zone in Afghanistan.
