A Metropolitan Police officer accused of using excessive force while arresting a terror suspect has had the misconduct case against him dropped. The 34-year-old was investigated after Babar Ahmad, 30, of Tooting, south-west London, made a complaint.
Mr Ahmad was arrested under the Terrorism Act in December 2003 and released without charge later. He is now fighting extradition to the US.
A misconduct board found there was "no case to answer".
Mr Ahmad, an IT administrator, was arrested again last August after the US requested his extradition.
Raising funds
They suspect him of raising funds via the internet to support terrorists in Chechnya and Afghanistan.
Mr Ahmad's next extradition hearing is due to take place at Bow Street Magistrates' Court later this month.
Following his initial arrest Mr Ahmad made a number of complaints which were investigated by the Police Complaints Authority (PCA).
They were finally concluded by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) - the PCA's successor.
A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said: "Following the decision made by the IPCC to direct the Metropolitan Police to hold a misconduct board, the board has found there is no case to answer against a 34-year-old male officer attached to the Territorial Support Group."
