LONDON, Aug. 30 (UPI) -- British judges say Guantanamo Bay prisoner Binyam Mohamed will receive U.S. documents that may support his claim he was tortured into a false confession.
Mohamed, an Ethiopian of British resident, is accused of conspiring with al-Qaida to blow up apartments in the United States. He is to be tried by a military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay. His attorneys had asked the London High Court to force British Foreign Secretary David Miliband to hand over U.S. documents backing his claim to having been tortured, The Times of London reported Saturday.
If his attorneys can show Mohamed's confession was obtained under duress, it would be inadmissible under the tribunal's rules.
Two High Court justices said Friday that Mohamed, 30, had now achieved everything that is "essential for a fair trial," the Times reported.
Citing unnamed sources, the British newspaper said the U.S. State Department had agreed to give Mohamed's lawyers edited versions of documents relating to his imprisonment at Guantanamo, with the names of his interrogators blacked out.
