WASHINGTON, June 8 (Reuters) - The Pentagon has decided to ask U.S. military judges to reconsider their decision to dismiss charges against two terrorism suspects held at Guantanamo Bay, a spokesman said on Friday.

On Monday, the judges said they lacked jurisdiction to try the suspects, in the latest blow to the Bush administration's plans to prosecute inmates at the U.S. prison camp in Cuba.
