Police forced to defend terror investigation after two freed over alleged beheading plot (Link)

Two of nine men arrested last week were released without charge and say they were never asked about the police-inspired media coverage that that "plot" involved kidnapping and beheading a British Muslim soldier. Their lawyer, Gareth Peirce, said: "They have left the police station without any better understanding of why they were there than when they first arrived seven days ago. Not a word was ever mentioned to either of them about a plot to kidnap, or the grisly suggestion of a beheading - or even of a soldier at all." Liberty letter (pdf)
