Airline pilot cleared of role in 9/11 after 'nine years of hell' (Guardian, link): "The pilot falsely accused of training the hijackers responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks has won his almost decade-long miscarriage of justice battle. Lotfi Raissi, an Algerian living in Britain who lost his career as an airline pilot, suffered wrongful imprisonment and damage to his health, will now be eligible for up to £2m compensation." Previous coverage: Two "terrorist" suspects, held for months in prison, freed by the court for lack of evidence.
