The suicides of three detainees at the US base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, amount to acts of war, the US military says.
The camp commander said the two Saudis and a Yemeni were "committed" and had killed themselves in "an act of asymmetric warfare waged against us".
Rights groups said the men who hanged themselves had been driven by despair.
President George W Bush expressed "serious concern" over the suicides at Guantanamo, which holds about 460 men captured in the US "war on terror".
There have been dozens of suicide attempts since the camp was set up four years ago - but none successful until now.
