Shocking top secret CIA documents reveal that British and Libyans cooperate with arranging the removal of a terror suspect to Libyan capital Tripoli.

Libyan documents found in Tripoli show that British secret service MI6 work in collaboration on more than one occasion with Libyan ex-leader Muammar Gaddafi’s intelligence services. Evidence that British intelligence agencies masterminded their own “rendition” operation cooperating with Gaddafi’s security services has emerged with the discovery of a cache of Libyan government papers in an abandoned office building in Tripoli.

CIA and other Western intelligence agencies worked closely with the ousted regime of Moammar Gadhafi, sharing tips and co-operating in handing over terror suspects for interrogation to a regime known to use torture, according to a trove of security documents discovered after the fall of Tripoli.

Secret CIA documents found among the debris of paper in a looted and abandoned office reveals that the British and Libyans collabrated together organizing for a terrorism suspect to be removed from Hong Kong to Tripoli, Libya – along with his family – despite the risk that they would be tortured. The wording of the document suggests the CIA was not involved in the planning of the rendition operation, but was eager to become engaged and have a watchful eye during its execution and offered financial support to former Libyan forces in command.

Other papers discovered in the office building revealed that MI6 relationship with Muammar Gaddafi’s intelligence agencies is a far closer one than their American counterpart and the British secret service was involved in numerous US-led operations that also resulted in Islamists being consigned to Muammar Gaddafi’s prisons. One of the Islamist, Abdul Hakim Belhaj – who spent long time in Gaddafi’s jails and now commander of the anti-Gaddafi militia in Tripoli – demanded an apology from London and Washington and stated he was considering suing over his rendition to Tripoli and subsequent torture by the hands of former Libyan forces supported by American and British intelligence.

CIA and MI6 secrets : Libyan Operation ” Rendition to torture”

The papers suggests that on one occasion, at least, the British ran their own “rendition to torture” operation. The victim was named by the CIA as Abu Munthir. Abu Munthir is considered to have been a man who used this alias while residing in the UK, where he is claimed to have encouraged a group of British Muslims to arrange a bomb attack on an unspecified target in the south-east of England. The alleged assailants were under surveillance by British secret service MI5 and counterterrorism detectives at the time that Munthir was detained in Hong Kong in March 2004 before being sent to Libya for interrogation and torture within the knowledge of CIA and MI6.

For several years, senior MI5 and MI6 officers have sought to deny that their agencies have been guilty even of complicity in the rendition operations mounted by the US after 9/11, and the subsequent torture of the victims and with the discovery of the papers by staff of Human Rights Watch, the New York-based NGO, in the unmarked offices of Libya’s external security agency.
