Police are to investigate whether an MI5 officer was complicit in the torture of ex-Guantanamo detainee Binyam Mohamed.

Mr Mohamed was arrested as a terrorism suspect in Pakistan in 2002 and was released from Guantanamo Bay last month. The Government says it does not participate in, solicit, encourage or condone the use of torture.

The conservative leader, David Cameron, said a police investigation might not go far enough and has suggested a wider inquiry.
