A British terror suspect captured and held by British forces in Iraq could be brought back to London to face trial, it has emerged. The man, named in reports as Mohamed Ali Abdul Razaq, 48, is being held at a detention facility near Basra. He was seized by British forces in November, reportedly during an SAS raid in Baghdad. It has been claimed that Razaq is suspected of funding and aiding Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian fugitive who heads al Qaida in Iraq and leads the terror group which beheaded British engineer Ken Bigley.Razaq, said to be a former professional basketball player and father of six, was born in Iraq but fled Saddam Hussein's regime in 1991. He came to Britain as a refugee, and was reportedly given citizenship in 2000. After living in London, he returned to Iraq following the fall of Saddam's regime. Reports claimed he could be brought back to Britain to face treason charges at the Old Bailey. However, it is understood that no decisions have yet been taken on how Razaq will be dealt with. The Ministry of Defence confirmed that a "UK Iraqi national" was being held at a Divisional Temporary Detention Facility (DTDF) at its Shaibah base near Basra. "He is being interned as an imperative threat to security and not because he has been accused of any criminal offences," the spokesman said. Under a United Nations Security Council resolution, Coalition forces in Iraq are entitled to use "all necessary means" to deter terrorism and are able to intern those who pose a threat to security.
