A Libyan court passed a death sentence in absentia on Muammar Gaddafi's most prominent son Saif al-Islam today for suppressing peaceful protests during the country's 2011 revolution that ended his father's rule.

British spy agencies are under growing pressure to reveal how closely they worked with their US counterparts following 9/11 after a damning US Senate report exposed how the CIA tortured terror suspects.
