An immigration officer accused of having links to Iraqi terrorists was suspended on full pay for five years after the Home Office sacked him for being a risk to national security.
The Arabic interpreter, who helped Special Branch interview terror suspects, had his security clearance removed a month after returning from a year-long sabbatical in his native Yemen
The 44-year-old claims he was only suspected of associating with terrorists due to his race and Muslim religion and is suing the Home Office for discrimination and unfair dismissal.
During his employment tribunal, the controversial ‘closed material procedures’ that allows cases to be heard almost entirely in private was applied.
Wonder how many of his interveiws were of coaching his interviewees on what to say and do and giving them info on how to beat the system?
