guantanamo bay alaska and ukraine for five years in. the hospital when the highly highly highly actually laugh at the what deeds in the isle of patmos over being no idea or being upset that. was subtle but in my room had been mostly subtle but. let's look 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 believe 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 they had the international community has clearly demonstrated that it is fed up why is it that 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 when 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 bid to ingratiate 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. in a vehicle that out of. one hundred for a valuable data. 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 mr koussa 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 or some 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. 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 took 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 team 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 at 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. shake a levy 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 get them to doesn't mean. we're going to logic up a nickel when the limit open is that we have by the. end of week. mr darrow this week. that i hold my let him leave out of the bill and we can. meet that will that what the what that. but my lovely kind of thing. from love i'm somewhat of a shift in the how would

a number economy of the cold war the war when we had a war early was a lot. of. was over susan was either that or can you some. hold what are their beliefs and some a signal that. the u.s. is said to have handed over it no sheikh on libya to the libyan external security organization in afghanistan. under the smell of somebody in the libyan government bursting with them a ship in libya 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 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. with the way. for that certainly not to be our when he comes to know what was its and what can be and can you move can look at a fascinating. last of a year. it's difficult and we can. stated that. human rights watch asked for an investigation into a suicide but he was bird and no libyan inquiry was held into his death. so the photographs are very disturbing when reportedly committed suicide in may be in prison and we question whether that was really a suicide and the photographs reveal things that make it seem as though you know that might not have legitimately 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. can little rock. give you. the. yeah glad that will help and they. got that 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 market. this illiteracy in. the new relationship with gadhafi spread and there are allegations that he illegally funded a 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 gadaffi 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 shadwell the thought that but at the same time opponents of gadhafi like our door. and sami our side of the libya islamic fighting group l i f g were arrested and rendered by british intelligence m i six to gadhafi his external security organization we are going to just turn up our. supply and. by then. they are a must for the total loss so yeah by then what are. they going to say you know balad. i mean if you have see if you her hair. well it myself and i'm also a little marilou my. mother can limit us over that i was you know but if i knew.

that when i was at two hundred nine many. of fema part about coke or was used to kind of what i said really and yet broke out and how about a primitive. 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 could see diminished. and bob ross how. do you want. to you know see and walk out of the morgue for the true little time. zones have to confront that are going to turn a man and kill him 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. you know her country about it. if you. and i could ultimately if you have to worry. out of.

the women if you. well it's no. great arrive 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 mussa hussein battles. and. can. finally get out of the need to know. course. and illicitly said to be very highly of you can't imagine how i want to manipulate

have you know either kind of the command of my. hodges fellow dissidents sami most of us 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. to offer to my law my. dad. can and was. an ally in our son and we're here and i lament i mean i'm. well i'm not by any one thing you know either can i come in and. work at the enemy living in a kind of. fear or. yellow morning. or the alamo and yet now feel i was.

harsh and sami al saadi were released from prison in libya in twenty ten and twenty eleven respectively. convinced of u.k. . in involvement in the 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 and torture. the british government is worried about apologising because they feel that if they do that there's a risk there for a security service people are going to be prosecuted in my going to jail. until now the coverage of latin america and most of the world was about covering khuda taz tragedies of quakes and that was it but not sure how couple feel how they look how they think and that's what we do we go if i would have. wanted to case a system that was introduced to. latin

america others here as have to fill a void that needed to be filled. seven years after muammar gadhafi is controversial rain came to a violent end libya is frozen in time. competing forces each running for power and influence continue to disrupt a broken state that time forgot. in the second of a two part series the big picture asks who's to blame. the lust for libya on al jazeera. november on al-jazeera. radicalized a hard hitting series comes face to face with the hatred and violence of militant groups that attract young people around the world on november fifth the u.s. will impose additional sanctions on iran targeting the oil sites we'll look at the impact that may have when migrant lives are in danger at sea who should come to the

by a judge today those are the latest headlines let's go back now to al-jazeera. 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 m i six 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 and military beginning at a time when gadhafi was supposed to be an enemy of the west. 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 time in malaysia well the government has sent very blank defenses so far basically saying ignited 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 for cause he possibly criticized the actions of other states at first the u.k.

government basically sad 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 hoist or. why then. if you have a magna x. amount of us and i want. to freeze and then i buy a car going to wear and. in. control for. you know series over to. my washing. on the hunt of your brand by women that were actually normally seven cars over to my. mother when i only have you know. 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.

and it all food minute. but i think this isn't as you are. seeing well it's only willingly and it's the mother a. little difficult on. the more bad then. to be in your brain in the family. and was about something really really sickly a. bit on the card well a bit on the hardest libya obviously. one of. the where they had a yemeni. lease early.

in the scheme. she has a holier parted when he finally. asked for her to see the thirty. i want to lift the leave iraq and when i. 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 p.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 six twelve and send them to get out.

and i once it's you know what and. there was no more and no one. what they needed was. the civil cases. and. run side by side but also accepted an offer of compensation by the british government bell hollows however wanted a full 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 of the know how mean. you. then. 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. both to accept such a settlement because he wants an apology he's made it clear that he wants he was a bit of goodwill to apologise 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 we have reacted to iran. and if you believe this we are going to america all of the. kabul. if this were merely our example of we

learned. what followed when you're. there are. many where we are to you 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 i'm sorry if i'm 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 free 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 or for use of the team. just the manner in an alarm of. a live you're it's about you know about if you will. about as human

a shark never was you know you were i would walk arm. and they were so how much you until i did when in the middle of nash i was and he mark and masood are there are pockets my god then the men include gave them a kind of monopoly of us over that they can the men. only about what i'm in a muslim. or by the way the. be the commander 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. is that in from the. year or say that there. there's a movement that we. are able 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 continue 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. the.

lives is. and the meticulous and. move them of the who are. human rights words or one of the months of 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 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. then who worked as hard. yanni it am i will marry more i am an

embodiment of couldn't have the last cause that i'm not a. reed then and then i am and why you know if you can it. at least i'm going to need it then i must be good least i mean you made it a rule of law within this in order to them to do it on the island in a month on the ceiling with outlets that has your things in theory can it if you know it in karate for can you read any of the mini aca that ain't a little thing about the maverick with the other. 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 and the summer of two thousand and two we greatly value the information we have received on it and what it has about a bit in the future if it was that. has affinity and i couldn't bury them obama moment and.
