9/11 case pilot can claim damages

A pilot wrongly accused of training the 9/11 hijackers is
entitled to claim damages, the Court of Appeal has ruled.

Lotfi Raissi, of west London, was detained for nearly

Mr Raissi says his claim may run to millions of pounds
and he has demanded an apology from the home secretary.
