two of the prisons that have been touted as possible relocation places have been ruled off of the table by the very powerful congressmen who represent those areas. 355 people suspected of terrorism are being held in american prisons on u.s. soil. so it is certainly a realistic prospect for them to come back -- or to be brought back to american soil, but only one has actually been tried in a u.s. court. the rest have been put before military commissions, which with very uneven results. a lot of these cases have been reversed. so the president maintains his pledge that he will close down guantanamo, but right now, given the fact that there are, as well, several -- about 40 prisoners who were considered indefinite detainees, because they are crimes related to 9/11, and other serious ins

insy -- incidents, it's not clear whether he'll be able to redeem his pledge. >> tom akerman, thank you. now about a quarter of the iraqi city of ramadi in anbar province remains under the control of the islamic state of iraq and the levant. iraqi forces began taking back parts of ramadi two weeks ago. government troops have taken control of a main mosque as a well as a hospital. booby trops set up by isil are among the main challenges for the iraqi soldiers. sinjar still sits deserted we the kurdish peshmerga still not allowing residents to return for safety reasons. and as mohammed jamjoom reports, from a camp that many of the yazidis who were displaced simply don't want to go back

back in we can never go back? i can't sleep a single moment at night thinking of them. >> reporter: at the camp in iraq, many have become accustomed to living in a kind of purgatory. children, women, and men steel against the bitter cold with a knowledge that worsening weather is nothing compared to the hell they have lived through in the past year and a half. another sad reality for the approximately 12,000 yazidis here is while many would like to return home, they can't. neighboring sinjar, while cleared of isil two months ago by kurdish peshmerga fighters is still off-limits to the yazidis who do want to go back. everywhere you look, ruin. this brigadier tells me they can't allow the
