MI5 colluded in the questioning under torture of the convicted British terrorist Rangzieb Ahmed in Pakistan in 2006-07, the high court heard on Tuesday as part of a civil claim brought by him against the spy agency and the government.

The security services are accused by Ahmed of suggesting to Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency that they arrest him in 2006, and of submitting questions, which were put to him under torture, during which three of his fingernails were ripped out.
