Jan. 12 (UPI) -- Britain has paid a "substantial sum" to a Guantanamo Bay detainee who sued the British government for its alleged complicity in his torture and detention, his legal team said.
Lawyers for Abu Zubaydah, 54, alleged that British intelligence services gave questions to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency while it tortured him at various black sites around the world between 2002 and 2006.
Zubaydah's full name is Zayn al-Abidin Muhammad Husayn. He is a Palestinian who grew up in Saudi Arabia and has Saudi citizenship. He's been held in the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, since 2006 without charges.
He is one of 15 who are still being held despite judgments and official reports detailing his torture.
