New claim from Gitmo detainee

Updated on 23 February 2009

By Simon Israel

Binyam Mohamed returns to Britain with fresh allegations, claiming his worst moment in captivity was realising British intelligence officers were helping his torturers.

He was detained at Guantanamo Bay for four years and allegedly tortured by his US jailers.

Now the attorney general is consulting the director of public prosecutions over whether there should be a criminal investigation into the torture claims.

Mr Mohamed had been accused by the US of a plot to detonate a dirty bomb, but all charges against him were dropped last year.
