The case could expose MI6 and MI5, the Attorney General, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Home Office to uncomfortable questions about who allegedly authorised the forced return of Libyan dissidents in 2004 which led to their torture and imprisonment. The claim against the Government centres on the rendition of Sami al-Saadi, then an outlawed opponent of the Gaddafi regime, along with his wife and four children, and Abdel Hakim Belhadj, also a leading member of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, and his wife, who was four months pregnant with the couple’s son.

The move by London followed an interim report by a commission of inquiry into possible legislative corruption in the British colony. http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=46267
