Freed detainee arrives back in UK

A British resident detained at Guantanamo Bay for more than four years has arrived back in the UK.

Ethiopian-born Binyam Mohamed, 30, landed at RAF Northolt in London on Monday afternoon, accompanied by Metropolitan Police officers.

Mr Mohamed says he was tortured while in custody on suspicion of terrorism.

He said in a statement the worst moment of his captivity was when he realised his alleged torturers were receiving material from UK intelligence agents.

May i just say i am gratified that we can put this whole sorry business behind us and move forward.

I'd also like to welcome back Mr Mohamed and express how proud i am of the staff in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office who have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to secure the release of Mr Mohamed.

Finally i'd also like to emphasise our policy is not to support torture, nor to condone any form of torture anywhere.










LOL i almost said that with a straight face.
 
I noticed you picked your nose during the long pause too. Mr. Gordon Browns... A real man of the people!
