Tortured and given money by MI6 agent?

On 19 December 2008, Rangzieb Ahmed (above) was convicted of membership of al-Qaida, which is believed to be run by the CIA and its friends.

"During the pre-trial hearing, Ahmed said that after being detained by the ISI (Pakistan intelligence service) in August 2006 he was beaten with sticks, whipped with electric cables, sexually humiliated and deprived of sleep.

"During one interrogation, he said, he was forced to the ground after refusing to answer questions about his contacts in Lahore, and held down by several men.

"One interrogator sat on the floor beside him, he said, and forced the jaw of a pair of pliers beneath the left side of his small fingernail. He then slowly prised the left hand side of the nail upwards.

"It is not disputed that MI5 and Greater Manchester police passed questions to the ISI to be put to Ahmed during his interrogation.

"Nor is it disputed that MI5 officers questioned Ahmed while he was in ISI custody." - Life sentence for 'tortured' Briton convicted of directing terror attacks

"Gordon Brown, after months of denial, will finally have to admit that the country’s debt is far more than the 44 per cent of gross national product that ministers have repeatedly, though mendaciously, claimed.

"The new figure is closer to an incredible 160 per cent — the worst in the developed world — and is expected to rise even more sharply.

"This systematic debauchery of the country’s finances has caused sterling to collapse.

"In just three days this week — Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday — the pound fell by 4 per cent.

"It has now collapsed by an average of 23 per cent against rival currencies over the past 12 months."
