* Two terrorists want convictions quashed on human rights grounds * Salahuddin Amin plotted to kill thousands of people in bomb attack on British shopping centre * Terrorist Rangzieb Ahmed is highest ranking member of Al-Qaeda to have faced trial in Britain * British courts rejected claim MI5 was complicit in torture * Depending upon outcome UK courts could be forced to quash convictions
Two Al-Qaeda terrorists have launched an attempt to have their convictions quashed on human rights grounds.
One of the extremists, Salahuddin Amin, was jailed for life in 2007 for his role in a terrorist cell that plotted to kill thousands of people in a bomb attack on a British shopping centre.
The second convicted terrorist, Rangzieb Ahmed, is the highest ranking member of Al-Qaeda yet to be put on trial in Britain.
The pair claimed MI5 was complicit in their torture by Pakistani security services, a claim that has already been rejected by British courts.

How can anyone sue the UK?
Anyone who believes they have the right to commit murder and mayhem can sue the UK and any other country they feel like suing.
