A pilot wrongly accused of training the 9/11 hijackers is entitled to claim damages, the Court of Appeal has ruled.
Judges said evidence suggested police and prosecutors were responsible for "serious defaults" in detaining Lotfi Raissi in jail for nearly five months.
The ruling means the government has to reconsider the 33-year-old's claim for compensation, which it had refused.
Mr Raissi wants an apology and says his claim may run into millions of pounds. The government has said it may appeal

I would be ticked off to if someone said I knowingly trained terrorists and i hadn't. We will see what this mans fate will be. I don't think he will get anything, the country was just looking for someone in a time of panic.
