A TERRORISM suspect who escaped British surveillance by disguising himself in a burka is suing the government over alleged torture, it's been revealed.
Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed evaded police surveillance last week by changing his Western-style clothes for a burka while he was visiting a mosque in London.
British counterterrorism police and secret services have launched a major search for the 27-year-old, who is believed to have fought abroad for al-Shabaab, the militant Somali rebel group.
His case for damages from the British government emerged at the High Court on Thursday, when a judge handed down an interim ruling in his case and his anonymity was lifted due to his disappearance.
Before he went on the run, Mohamed and another man had filed a claim against the Foreign Office, Home Office, Ministry of Defence and the Attorney General, alleging they had consented or acquiesced to their detention and torture by Somaliland authorities in January 2011.
British "officers and agents ... by their acts and omissions, procured, induced, encouraged or directly caused, or were otherwise complicit in" the detention of Mohamed and his co-claimant, the court papers said.
The judge in the case said that both were British citizens of Somali descent.
Mohamed had travelled to Somaliland in 2007 and was returned to Britain in March 2011, after his arrest and alleged torture.
British Home Secretary Theresa May had applied for a control order against him prior to his detention in Somaliland, Mohamed said, showing that May knew he was about to be detained.
