(UK) Police to investigate Binyam Mohamed's torture claims

Source: UK Times Online

The Metropolitan Police are to investigate claims that British agents colluded in torture, Scotland Yard said today.

Officers will look into allegations by Binyam Mohamed, a former Guantanamo Bay detainee, that MI5 officers were complicit in the treatment he received while being detained.

The case was referred to police by the Attorney General, Baroness Scotland, earlier this year

Mr Mohamed, a former UK resident, was arrested in Pakistan in 2002. He alleges that he was tortured by Pakistani agents and interrogated by the FBI and MI5 over the next three months. He says he was then taken to Morocco after being subjected to extraordinary rendition by the CIA with the explicit knowledge of the Security Service.
