local guantanamo bay alaska and ukraine for five years in. the hospital when the highly highly highly actually laughed at the what deeds in the i love and miss omar bin of well being of us others. will suffer but in my longer having mostly subtle but. it's looking at akira libby's information about so-called weapons of mass destruction is widely thought to have been used by the u.s. as evidence of saddam hussein's possession of w m d's in iraq one less thing you pointed out that you were warned of believed by the egyptian president mubarak i believe what barak told you tommy tommy franks that saddam had biological weapons they were ready yeah but everybody thought he had the international community has clearly demonstrated that it is way is it a process which has been going on for twelve years trying to disarm iraq from its

weapons of mass destruction this report by libyan intelligence the external security organization or. shows details of a meeting with the cia. as it plans to invade saddam hussein's iraq in two thousand and three the u.s. needed to prepare public opinion for the attack getting libya on govt is key to that strategy. but the iraq war one battle for the western allies. no evidence of dangerous weapons was found and the lack of a post-war strategy plunged the country into calles. gadhafi then seized the moment in a dramatic bedouin gratiot to himself with the west and have sanctions on libya lifted he claimed to have w m d's and offered to surrender them.

with. desperate to put a positive spin on their mission to destroy weapons in the middle east the u.s. and u.k. led the way in rehabilitating gadhafi almost overnight. libya was no longer. part of the axis of evil. in return a lucrative oil and gas deal was signed and it was then that the cia and m i six began increasing their rendition of libyan dissidents to the gadhafi regime as evil as a vehicle doled out of. one hundred four available. but it's now thought the relationship between the head of the e.s.o. . and western intelligence went back much earlier than the aftermath of the two thousand and three invasion of iraq repression between the two states gathered pace

after nine eleven. british intelligence held a meeting with music you said in the week after nine eleven and the following november november two thousand a while british and libyan intelligence officers held a summit over several days at a hotel as an airport in europe and the german austrian intelligence officers also present and there was a growing agreement at that point that the libyans could be quite useful to the west being useful to the west was what gadhafi was aiming for and the west fell for it but at a price rendition. this twenty twelve human rights watch report delivers into enemy hands details the process and several cases including that in our sake on libya. that was an agreement reached that the british and the libyans would start recruiting agents jointly. and from the

libyan agents who would would help and spy on al qaeda. the rehabilitation of gadhafi took place under british prime minister tony blair and when gordon brown to go over from blair in june two thousand and seven the friendly momentum continues and. the london based human rights organization reprieve has closely monitored rendition for many years. lawyer corey krieger specialized in cases involving libya. you remember and the deal in the desert in two thousand and four is that duffy says oh well i'm joining the community of nations everybody was right you know the war on i've looked at iraq and you know i don't want to go that way and all the rest of it said this president has given to him but the reality is of course what happened after that the sanctions were lifted british petroleum and other companies were able to come in and start doing business

to the tune of millions in fact billions of dollars i'll just zero made requests to interview tony blair in twenty four but his office said he was not available. the producers also asked to interview former british foreign minister jack straw who was responsible for british intelligence six the time of the rendition but his office said he didn't have time. neither was therefore able to shed light on when dishan pieces like the. shaker libby was returned in two to maybe in custody and. you know we met him two weeks before he supposedly kit committed suicide in his cell. and when that happened we raised concerns about the circumstances surrounding his death. we were concerned that it was not actually a suicide libby was allowed

a single visit from his family in april two thousand and nine while in libyan detention this video shows him opponent lee comfortable and his family had no reason to suspect he might soon take his own life. if you just didn't didn't get them and he doesn't mean. we're going to logic up the nickel when the limit open is only about the want to. handle it. then mr darrow differently. and that i would let him leave out of the bill and we can learn how if you had a bill iraq. will that what the what that the. but mainly because. i'm somewhat of a ship and how would

a number economy so the cold war the war when we had a war early was a lot. of about was over susan was either that or can you some mrs novella. hold what are their beliefs and some a signal that. the u.s. is said to have hundred over it no sheikh on libya to the libyan external security organization in afghanistan. and the smell of somebody having the leave your comments stand with the machine and the most of them to keep them in may two thousand and nine libby was found dead in his prison cell only two days after that gadhafi was fourth son want to seem acting as libyan national security adviser met u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton in washington d.c. we deeply value the relationship between the united states and libya

we have many opportunities to deepen and broaden our cooperation and i'm very much looking forward to. building on this relationship so mr minister welcome so much here in the way. for that certainly not to be our when he comes to know what was it's and what can be and can you move can look at a fascinating. last of a year. it's difficult and stayed in it. human rights watch said even shake our libby die because of torture and ask for an investigation but he was buried and no libby was held into his death so the photographs are very disturbing when allenby reportedly committed suicide in may be in prison and we question whether that was really a suicide and these photographs reveal things that make it seem as though you know it might not have the jimmy been a suicide. gadhafi never allowed any form of opposition within libya.

a prominent dissident group was the libyan islamic fighting group the l i f g who gadhafi accused of having links to al qaida. given her head of. the. yeah gladly will help when they. get gadhafi is jails had an appalling reputation for mistreatment and torture particularly of political prisoners this mobile phone video purports to have been shot in abu salim prison in tripoli. human rights watch and amnesty international have both reported hundreds of deaths in abu salim although the figures have never been independently verified or human remains

found if western intelligence services knowingly colluded in the torture of libyan dissidents in this way they certainly have a case towards. the western agenda was to establish a connection between saddam hussein and al qaeda whereas gadhafi wanted to link libyan dissident groups to al qaida. there's a lot of this illiteracy in the search a lot of this. is not. the new relationship with gadhafi spread and there are allegations that he illegally funded in nicolas sarkozy's two thousand and seven french presidential campaign sarkozy has been charged with illegal campaign financing he denies the charges and the case is yet to reach the french courts gadhafi was welcomed across europe a far cry from his eighty's image as quote the mad dog of the middle east.

but there was there was out there was this was. a living yeah. mother thought that but at the same time opponents of gadhafi like our door hakim the high and sami al side of the libya islamic fighting group l i f g were arrested and rendered by british intelligence m i six to gadhafi is external security organization we are going to just turn up our. spy and. by then. they are a must for the lot of us oh yeah but then what are. they or feel they can to sell you a little soul you know ballad. i mean if you have see if you her hair t. . well it myself and i'm also a little my new mom you know. there are limits over there was you know but if i

knew. that and i was at one and i'm any. of fema part about cook or was used to cook and when i said really and yet broke out and how about a committee. but when dishan had the lid blown off it when in the wake of the libyan revolution in twenty eleven correspondence was found the pointed to western collusion. in two thousand and eleven after tripoli was liberated some human rights activists and some revolutionaries found an incredible cache of documents in what appeared to be the abandoned office of then the head of libya's security services and in those documents for the first time ever we saw evidence showing that there was a joint plot in two thousand and four to kidnap. him and his pregnant wife as well as the libyan man semi all saudi his wife and his four

children from exile in southeast asia and render them in other words kidnap them and send them back to that. and we can see diminished. and bob ross how. do you want to see and walk out of the morgue for the through a little time. zones have to confront that are going to turn their humanity killing the cia took them separated them and held them for several days at a black site that's a secret prison near the bangkok airport both of them were chained to the wall separately mistreated was beaten hooded all the rest of it and then they were put on a infamous cia rendition plane one of these planes that the cia flew people around the world to be tortured on to have to be. mean and how can two hundred one if you're. going to knock out the money.

out of. the women if you. well it's no. good i believe in any. case of abdel hakim bahaji and his wife goes back to two thousand and four the couple were planning to seek asylum in the u.k. but they were persuaded by the british to travel to london via bangkok. there they were arrested and tortured before being rendered to libyan intelligence headed by musar koussa battles. and. partly out of the need to know it. was karen who. ran illicitly said libya you can imagine how. many of them have you know either

kind of the command of my belt houses fellow dissidents sami most of our saadi also says he was rendered to the libyans by the british on the grounds that he was somehow connected to the group responsible for nine eleven al qaida. the offer to my law my. dad. and i are in. on it and we're here and i lament i mean i'm. well i'm not but and then you know either can i come in and. work at the enemy living in a kind of under. fear or. yellow moon in. the morning or we had enough and i went to. abdel

hakim bell harsh and sami al saadi were released from prison in libya in twenty ten and twenty eleven respectively. convinced of u.k. . involvement in their rendition in twenty twelve they decided to sue the british government in the civil court for handing them over to the libyans to be imprisoned tortured. the british government is worried about apologizing because they feel that if they do that there's a risk that former security service people who were involved in this to me prosecuted and might go to jail. if you were in beijing looking out the pacific ocean you'd see american warships when myth was that somehow time is aiming to replace america and go around the world while the chinese are not that stupid these guys want to dominate a huge chunk of the planet this sounds like a preparation for our first president george washington said if you want peace

prepare for war the coming war on china part one on a jazzy. journeys of personal discovery kill more americans here and then more air and b.s. al-jazeera is correspondents tell their past and stories that have marked their lives i feel sad that they have to endure the difficult times and that my deep fear down like my family has been status and wealth has benefited from their choice to enslave people. al-jazeera correspondent coming soon the cricket world is not bad match fixing i mean you have to think why would you give me a got because then we didn't bring the media it's the way you are now a big fan base. al-jazeera is investigative unit reveals explosive new at the same documentary confirms the bible now is a very hard profile figure in match fixing and question do you know this man

samples but we were told that important evidence was found european union leaders meeting in brussels say they will not hold a special summit on practice and next month because not enough progress has been made towards a deal british prime minister theresa may address european leaders who said she failed to present any new ideas the deadlock centers on keeping the border in ireland open after northern ireland leaves the e.u. with the rest of the u.k. in march. this is a bomb attack in afghanistan has killed a parliamentary candidate last happened in the southern province of helman at least ten candidates have now been killed in the run up to the elections on saturday the united nations special envoy for syria has told the security council he is stepping down from the role and november deafened historic has spent years mediating between the syrian government and various rebel sides he told the council the situation in syria is relatively stable but says he is moving on for personal reasons. those are

the headlines to keep it on al jazeera throughout the day for all the day's news we return you now to al-jazeera world. in may twenty eighth a libyan politician and his wife received a full apology from the british government for having been rendered handed over by and i said to the gadhafi regime where they were imprisoned and tortured. they were just two of hundreds of gadhafi as opponents who were picked up abroad and handed over in a collusion between western intelligence. beginning at a time when gadhafi was supposed to be an enemy of the west. bell hodge and fellow dissidents sami also sued the british government in twenty twelve they were represented by human rights lawyers in london interviewed here in

twenty fifty where the case was still going on well the key documents that we saw where what appeared to be faxes and correspondence between. the what appeared to be from m i six to the libyan authorities notifying them of the presence of abdul hakim by houghton is why fatima at that time in malaysia well the government has said very blank defenses so far basically saying. tonight the events even those events that is supported by the documentation and what they have instead done is try to get the case struck out of course by saying that because the allegations involve the u.s. and other states in libya malaysia. that it would be the cause here don't have jurisdiction to deal with it that it would be wrong because he possibly criticized the actions of other states at first the u.k.

government basically said you can't hear these cases at all here in britain because it will harm our relationship with the united states the americans will be terribly upset about it and so forth about it if you're out of the house. or. or i've been. lucky to hear if you have an. axe or not i said i want. to feel. where and. yet when i'm in control for good. she mostly has over to. my washed. the whole to feel blob and parliament that we actually normally seven cars over to my. mother when i only have. one of the thousands of papers found after the revolution in twenty eleven was this one marked top secret it refers to libya u.s. cooperation and to a list of names of so-called traitors which was given to the americans.

can it all food million dollars an area that it would help us understand how come i only can what i think isn't as you are well for and seeing well it only willingly is lannister money for our war. and i'm pretty. clear of the fact that on. the more bad then. up to the line will be in your brain and. up to an intimate with mary and then an oscar or something really really sickly. beat on the mcbride well a bit on the hardest libya obviously. isn't a million b. really kind of a. one of the. many where they had a year a minute. lease early. in the

scheme. he has no holier parted with. and. perhaps see that. i want to lift the leave iraq and one of our own was. one of the most significant finds in tripoli was a letter written by so mark allen then head of counterintelligence at m i six in march two thousand and four to the head of the libyan b.s.o. . it says quote i congratulate you on the safe arrival of. meaning. this was the least we could do for you and for libya to demonstrate the remarkable relationship we have built over the years i am so glad that the british security services the cia and the libyan kidnapped children between the ages of sixteen felt twelve and send them to get at. the hole

in. it and i was it's an hour and then. there was more and more well maybe. what they need. the civil cases. and something else run side by side but also id accepted an offer of compensation by the british government. bell hollows however wanted a fool apology from the government the former foreign secretary and former head of counterintelligence identify six the british government settled that case in december two thousand and twelve for two point two million pounds in the short and the how mean. you. then the. community easy out of the. way and. so i think that we know

really what the truth is here and that the british government knows that it has a case to answer up to how can bill hoge votes accept such a settlement because he wants an apology he's made it clear that he wants he was a bit of goodwill to politicize what was going to have and also what was done to his wife mr bahamas for his part his offer to drive his case and walk away from his civil court case for just three pounds one from some are counted one from jack straw and one from the government and an apology and that's the real problem the british government is worried about apologising because they feel that if they do that there's a risk that former security service people who were involved in this kidnapping might be prosecuted and might go to jail and one of the even who won and yet to be finance be happy we are to do one. and if you believe that this we are going to america all of the. kabul. if this were mainly. we learn. what part of to when you're going.

to many where we are to that i'm here or in the here. if it is proved that british officials did torture anyone whether in the ek or broad or involved complicit in their torch head they need to account to criminal law in the case i'm actually pretty confident that the supreme court of britain is going to say that of course torture victims have to have their day in court but the reality is the government will always seek to delay it's an incredibly embarrassing case what case could be more embarrassing than british security services kidnapping pregnant ladies and sending them back to dictators like a daffy it doesn't get any worse for them while the british government settled with something else saudi the us government appears so far to have ignored the whole rendition issue even though papers discovered in twenty eleven point clearly to their involvement according to human rights watch documents show that the cia

kidnapped khaled are sorry for a most of our marketing and rendered them to the libyans the men say they were detained and interrogated in afghanistan for over a year. the documents that were we found in the libyan intelligence ministry were very troubling they showed a level of cooperation between the united states the united kingdom and the cia in their rendition of a number unlawful rendition of a number of individuals who were enemies of gadhafi back to libya it shows a deep level of collusion between the u.s. and the u.k. and libya it rendering individuals into gadhafi as hands at a time when we knew that gadhafi was mistreating abusing detainees in custody you saw our team. just leave. a live europe about film about if you will. not work as human

a shark never used you know i would and we walk arm. and they were so how much you until i did mean in the minute nash i was and he mark and there are blocking my other than the men on clue gave them a kind of monopoly of us over that they can the men. only about what i'm in a muslim but about the weather. has either come out of the united states believes and promotes itself as a country that believes in the rule of law and abides by its international legal obligations but we know for a fact that the u.s. has not done so in many cases especially with regards to its detention practices that. just in from the. year or say that them. there's a move. to hit back at more. with their behavior

with the comes ashore can you made it more difficult for the bush administration to carry out its program of torture they continued to do so but in a different kind of way. and since. the president obama took office he did ban the use of enhanced interrogation techniques and actually has called the practices that occurred during the cia torture program torture the u.s. unlawfully rendered numerous individuals into libyan custody where they knew that they were going to be. they were going to be likely tortured and abused but in addition before they even did that they held several of them in cia detention and tortured them brutally themselves so yes it's a double standard and a double standard that the u.s. absolutely has to account for if it ever wants to put this dark chapter in its history behind it and the muslim in america.

and the meticulous and. move them of the who are. human rights words or one of them to the with the what was al-jazeera asked the cia to comment on all of these allegations but they did not reply. there's evidence that it wasn't just the british and american intelligence who colluded with the libyans canada may have also been involved most of a korea a canadian citizen of libyan descent says he was tracked kidnapped and rendered to libyan intelligence he says he was accused of having links with so-called international terrorism but that this has never been proved. it is melissa to move. can who work as hard. yanni it am i will marry more i am an

embodiment of good and have the best that america or colony and read than and then i am and why you know if you can it. at least i am going to need it than i must be would wish them to be made in it or the rule of law in this in answer to the third rule of law i learned in a month the name silly to the less list of things in theory can it if you know that in karate for can you read any of the mini act of the faint illusion about the maverick was the only. candidate in correspondence between libyan intelligence and the canadians is a letter from the libyans saying thank you for the information about the arrest of the canadian citizen most of our mohammad clear otherwise known as father of the ally f.g. in the summer of two thousand and two we greatly value the information we have.
