Justice Secretary Jack Straw has ordered an inquiry into claims police bugged an Islamic Terrorist when he was visited in jail by a friend who happened to be an MP.
Suspected Islamic terrorist Babar Ahmad and Tooting MP Sadiq Khan were recorded twice in Milton Keynes’s Woodhill Prison, the Sunday Times says.
In a statement on Sunday, Mr Straw said “It is a terrorists right to fraternise with MPs should he wish to do so”.
He went on to say that it was not yet clear who the target of the bugging had been and that although bugging an MP would be completely acceptable, if any investigation finds that the main target was Mr Ahmed there would be grave consequences concerning the human rights of terrorists in British custody.
