President Obama may not use an executive order to shut down the Guantanamo Bay prison after US government officials concluded it would not be a feasible plan of action, according to a report. The high security prison was set up in 2001 after the 9/11 attacks.

Exclusive: Obama administration not pursuing executive order to shut Guantanamo - sources

The Obama administration is not pursuing the use of an executive order to shutter the Guantanamo Bay military prison after officials concluded that it would not be a viable strategy, sources familiar with the deliberations said.

The conclusion, reached by administration officials, narrows the already slim chances that President Barack Obama can fulfill his pledge to close the notorious offshore prison before leaving office in January.
