Last three Guantanamo men freed
Mr Dergoul's lawyer said there was not enough evidence
The three remaining former Guantanamo Bay detainees being held in police custody have been released without charge, it has been confirmed.
Shafiq Rasul, 26, Ruhal Ahmed, 23 and Asif Iqbal, 22, all of Tipton, West Midlands, were freed on Wednesday night - a day after returning from Cuba.
Tarek Dergoul, 26, from east London, had been released by Anti-Terrorist Branch police earlier on Wednesday.
A fifth man, Jamal Udeen, was released without charge on Tuesday night.
'Mentally fragile'
The US released the men from prison in Cuba two years after their arrest in Afghanistan on suspicion of terrorism.
Mr Dergoul's publicist, Max Clifford, told BBC News: "His immediate plans are to spend time with his family and then we will take it from there."
Physically he is not in a very good condition

He said Mr Dergoul was in a better mental than physical condition.
"He has been incarcerated for two years and is physically in a bad way. He is mentally fragile but okay," he said.
He said a brother of the freed man told him Tarek was "mentally as well as could be expected in the circumstances, but physically he was having real difficulty in walking."
Mr Clifford said Mr Dergoul told relatives he was travelling in Afghanistan when he was captured for being "in the wrong place at the wrong time".
The former care worker, who studied A levels and computing, is the son of a Moroccan baker.
He was a regular worshipper at the Finsbury Park mosque in north London, where Muslim cleric Abu Hamza preached.

Family fears for brother's state
It is believed he was captured in the Tora Bora mountains, which was where the US military believed members of the Taleban had fled.
In March 2002 he told his family he was being held in Kandahar.
The former care worker's lawyer, Louise Christian, had argued for his release on Wednesday under the Terrorism Act, which allows for a review of their detention after 24 hours at 1900 GMT.
Mr Dergoul was held at London's Paddington Green police station along with the other three returnees under the Terrorism Act 2000.
The four men had been arrested by the Metropolitan Police who boarded their flight at RAF Northolt on Tuesday night.
Four other Britons - Feroz Abbasi, 23, Richard Belmar, 23, and Martin Mubanga, 29, all from London, plus Moazzam Begg, 36, from Birmingham - are still detained at Guantanamo Bay.

Unless they slap a D notice on him it shouldn't be long before some insight on being a US political prisoner in Guantanamo is in the tabloids.
