UK - Muslim "bombings plot suspect 'tortured'"

Blares the BBC headline. How do we know he was tortured?

Patrick O'Connor QC said his client would tell the jury about the torture.


Later on we are told.

Mr O'Connor said Mr Amin told Abbey National that one of the loans was for "home improvements" and he asked his client: "Did you knowingly act dishonestly?"

"Yes," Mr Amin replied.

"What were you intending to do with the money?" asked Mr O'Connor.

"[It was] for the cause, and for myself."

"The cause?" asked his lawyer.

"The Afghan jihad.


So, shouldn't the focus of the story be on how he admitted to funding terrorists instead of clamis of torture?
