Terror suspect Abu Zubaydah's payout sparks Tory outrage

A terror suspect, Abu Zubaydah, who has been detained by the US since 2002, has received a substantial UK government payout after claiming British intelligence was complicit in his CIA torture. The case, led by Lord Hermer before he became Attorney General, has sparked outrage among Tory MPs, who accuse the Labour government of prioritising legal settlements over national security. Zubaydah remains imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay, has never been charged or convicted, and the legal settlement cannot be accessed until he is released.
