MetroSource News says that, "A pilot arrested ten days after the 9-11 terror attacks and held in a British jail for nearly half a year accused of training the 19 hijackers is suing the U.S. Justice Department and the FBI for $10 million."

The Brits arrested him on tips from the US feds, even though, "The official court ruling stated that American officials failed to present any evidence to back up accusations that the British-based Algerian who studied at a flight school in Arizona had ties to terrorism." [In the hysteria after the attacks, hundreds of 'persons of interest' were scooped up in the US, held incommunicado, and denied trials. Most have been quietly released, though a couple notable prisoners of the non-war are being held, without access to habeas corpus, as 'enemy combatents,' a previously meaningless term invented to justify the DoJ's acts --ed.]

The man the US feds fingered, and the British police nabbed, 29-year-old Lotfi Raissi, was cleared in British court; but he can't find employment in aviation. His attorney says the negative publicity surrounding his arrest and incarceration is key to understanding Raissi's unemployability.

When he's through with the US officials, or maybe as he engages them, he's planning to sue the British, as well.
