How very very inconvenient.
Looks like Moazzem Begg has been helping MI6 to
recruit young Brits to go and fight for the Syrian rebels.
Caught by the cops , then sprung from jail by MI6
Will we ever find out what really happened in the case of Moazzam Begg?
I suspect that the intelligence services have
been up to their old tricks again

...All that said, when he was arrested on
terrorism charges in February - in the inevitably
well-publicised dawn raid - it was hard not to
smell a rat. How brazen, stupid or ungrateful do
you have to be to turn on the country that has
secured your release and even compensated you
(rather generously) for what you went through?
Anything is possible, of course, including that
Begg is a real bad-hat, but something did not ring true.
Lo and behold, just a few days before the date
set for his trial - at the Old Bailey, no less -
all seven charges were suddenly dropped. New
"relevant material", it was said, had persuaded
the Crown Prosecutors that they would have no
chance of success. So off Moazzam Begg goes back
to Birmingham, his charity work and his trips to Syria.
There are those who believe that the authorities
wanted to make an example of Begg as a
high-profile Muslim with links to Syria. And
perhaps there is something in that. But what
happened here raises more questions. Take a cold
hard look, for a start, at the cost. There was
the police investigation that led to his arrest.
Then his seven months at Belmarsh top security
prison. Then the legal expenses - for him and the
phalanxes of lawyers always involved in any such
high-profile cases - and the court time. Then, at
the very last moment, the whole construct
collapses. At the very least this has been an egregious waste of public money.
So I wonder where the devastating last-minute
"material" came from, don't you? And don't you
think, given the costs incurred and the prospect
of a miscarriage of justice if the trial had gone
ahead, that we ought to know? Any inquiries,
though, were comprehensively stonewalled.
Now I may be quite wrong, but the lateness of the
intervention, the anonymity and the stonewalling
seem to point in one direction and one direction
alone: the intelligence services. Not Pakistan's
ISI, not the American CIA, DIA or NSA, but our
very own MI5 and/or MI6. There was even a clue in
the post-release statement issued by the Islamic
Human Rights Commission, which said - rightly -
that the ruling called into question "the whole
basis for arresting Mr Begg in the first place".
It went on: "His visits to conflict-torn regions
in Syria were not only publicised, but Mr Begg
was also engaged in an on-going dialogue with the
security services about his activities."
So there you have it. Perhaps Begg and the
security services fell out and MI5 wanted to put
the heavy hand on him, or perhaps West Midlands
Police and the intelligence services were
operating at cross purposes. Or both. We may never know.
What we do know, however, is that the UK
intelligence services have been implicated in
some very dubious stuff. Begg was not the only
Briton detained at Guantanamo who claimed that UK
intelligence had played a role in his capture or
his interrogation. The Government chose to pay up
rather than summon intelligence agents to court,
which is how Begg and others won their compensation.
Then there was Abdel Hakim Belhaj, a leader of
the anti-Gaddafi rebels in Libya, who claims UK
intelligence was complicit in spiriting him and
his pregnant wife back to a torture chamber in
Libya from Thailand. Most recently it transpired
that one of the killers of Lee Rigby, Michael
Adebolajo, was not only known to the intelligence
services, but may have had them to thank for his
repatriation from a Kenyan prison. Did that
entail some deal on continued or future cooperation?
You can argue, and I would not demur, that
tracking people like this is exactly the sort of
thing MI5 and MI6 should be doing - getting down
and dirty with activists who may have malice
aforethought. Moazzam Begg's trips to Syria may
have yielded crucial information unobtainable any other way.
But if such operations are defensible in security
terms, let's hear them defended. We deserve to
know that, just as with journalists employing
subterfuge, the use of dubious methods is
justified by the greater public interest. But I
can recall no instance where that has happened.
Everything is silence, distant inference or
strangely phrased non-denial denials. You find
exactly the same in the snail-like progress of
the inquest - now inquiry - into the radiation death of Alexander Litvinenko.
It is just less than a year since the heads of
MI5, MI6 and GCHQ appeared before the
parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee
in an unprecedented public hearing. This
departure was hailed as the start of a new era of
openness and accountability. Moazzam Begg's
release after seven months in Belmarsh and the
sudden appearance of "relevant materials" suggest
that old habits die very hard indeed.
