Intel chiefs face renewed torture claims

The following report is excerpted from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin

LONDON – Top leaders in the United Kingdom are demanding answers to claims that agents from both of Britain's intelligence services, MI5 and MI6, at least knew of the torture of 10 Britons under a CIA program assembled following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, according to a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.

"There is a case that should be answered," Lord Carlisle said after Binyam Mohamed was processed by authorities at the Guantanamo Bay terrorist detention facility and flown to Britain for release.

"We need to know whether there was any presence, condoning or collusion by UK security officials," Carlisle said.

Officials for MI5 and MI6 are being caught in the crosshairs of the questions, following allegations they colluded with authorities in Pakistan, Egypt, Morocco and possibly Uzbekistan in the torture of the 10 Britons.

Previously, only MI5 was accused of complicity in the torture of Mohamed under the program. Coalition forces have rejected claims that the detention and confinement program constituted torture.

Documents presented in London's High Court recently, however, contain the allegations that the 10 Britons were subjected to torture, which may actually have been carried out by Egyptians or Moroccans.

Now secret files have emerged that name not only MI5 agents but also officers of MI6, the Secret Intelligence Service, who allegedly "colluded with foreign torturers,"

The allegations have intensified the assertion that the British government is trying to cover up evidence of both intelligence services being engaged in "collusion with security services in foreign countries where torture is rampant."
