Updated on 21 May 2008
Greater Manchester Police have taken the unprecedented step of releasing extracts from 12 days of interview with a man suspected of funding, recruiting and fighting for al-Qaeda.
Hassan Butt is planning to publish his life story claiming he's now a reformed Islamist but has told police he has made up many details in the book about his jihadi past.
Butt last year met Home Office ministers to advise on how to combat extremism.
