Bomb suspect tells of 'torture' (in Pakistan)
A defendant in an Old Bailey terror trial broke down in the witness box as he was questioned about claims he was tortured by Pakistani security forces.

Salahuddin Amin said he was forced to make a confession about sending co-defendant Omar Khyam the formula for an explosive device.

He said his interrogators threatened to "drill another hole in his backside".
...
He said he was taken to an ISI facility in Rawalpindi and held in a small room with bright lights. He said he was beaten with truncheons.
