Government loses pilot appeal

The Ministry of Justice has lost its court battle against an Algerian pilot falsely accused of training the 9/11 hijackers, his solicitor said.

Lotfi Raissi claimed compensation after he was arrested at his home and held in jail for four-and-a-half months.

Ministers were refused leave to appeal to the House of Lords over the Court of Appeal ruling that Mr Raissi was subject to an "abuse of process".
