An American man is suing the FBI for mistreatment while he was held in jail in Kenya and Ethiopia in 2007.
Mr Meshal says his constitutional rights were violated by the interrogations
Amir Meshal was arrested on the Kenyan border as he fled Somalia after the ousting of the Islamist administration.
According to the lawsuit, FBI agents interrogated him there, saying he had received al-Qaeda training in Somalia.
Mr Meshal says he was then returned to Somalia and sent on to Ethiopia for three months where US agents threatened him with torture and death.
He repeatedly denied the allegations and was released in May 2007 and returned to the United States after media inquiries and protests from human rights groups.READ MORE
