British PM's statement on Libya renditions report

  • 12 years ago
David Cameron say allegations that British security services were involved in the rendition of Libyan terror suspects should be investigated by an independent inquiry.

"We have asked Sir Peter Gibson to examine issues around the detention and treatment of terrorist suspects overseas and the inquiry has already said it will look at these latest accusations very carefully,: the British PM said.

The MI6 are now facing tough questions over their connections with Libya after documents from Tripoli appeared to show a trade of information and co-operation between the country and the CIA that resulted in the handing over of and torture of terror suspects.

This is his statement to the House of Commons in London.
