FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The coalition government has revealed that Straw and his then boss, former Prime Minister Tony Blair should be investigated after revelations that a Labour minister gave the green light for a Libyan man to be handed over for torture by the Gaddafi regime, British media reported.
The Metropolitan Police have launched a criminal probe into claims that MI6 tipped off the CIA about the whereabouts of Abdel Hakim Belhadj and his wife in 2004, shortly before Blair signed his deal in the desert with now dead Colonel Gaddafi.
MI6, Britain’s foreign spying apparatus, are so keen to cover up their role in the affair that they want to offer Belhadj – once seen as a terrorist threat and now a leading figure in the Libyan transitional government – a hush money payment of more than £1million.
Belhadj and his wife are also suing the government, the security services and former MI6 counter-terrorism chief Sir Mark Allen for damages.
Documents found in Tripoli show Sir Mark sent Gaddafi’s intelligence chief Musa Kusa a congratulatory message after the rendition, saying ‘the least we could do for you and for Libya’.
No 10 was drawn into the controversy yesterday after the BBC revealed that the operation had ministerial approval.
David Cameron’s official spokesman said they would ‘cooperate fully’ with the Metropolitan Police probe.
Asked if the police should find out what ministers knew and when they knew it, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “Absolutely. The government will cooperate fully with that investigation.”
Asked if the police should interview ministers from the Labour government, the No 10 spokesman said: “They need to follow the evidence wherever it takes them.”
The 1994 Intelligence Services Act specifies that “authorisation of acts outside the British Isles’ can only be signed off as a result of ‘authorisation given by the Secretary of State.”
That means one of Straw’s junior ministers could not have given permission, though security sources said it did not preclude the Prime Minister giving the green light himself.
“It means Jack Straw or Tony Blair or both of them,” one source with close knowledge of the security services said.
