A diplomatic spat has broken out over Bermuda\'s acceptance of four Chinese Muslim Uighurs released from the US detention centre in Guantanamo Bay.
Britain has told Bermuda, which is one of its overseas territories, that it should have consulted London before agreeing to resettle the Uighurs.
The four were among a group handed over to US forces in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, the British Opposition has demanded an explanation from Bermuda’s foreign secretary on the matter.
