The Government will face claims in the High Court today that it is guilty of "aiding and abetting" breaches of international law by allowing US arms flights to Israel to use UK airports.
The Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) is seeking permission to bring proceedings against the Civil Aviation Authority, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Des Brown, the Defence Secretary. The IHRC accuses the Government of involvement in "grave and serious violations" of international humanitarian law and crimes against the Geneva Conventions.
The Daily Telegraph revealed last month that a number of aircraft thought to be carrying military hardware, including "bunker buster" bombs, have refuelled at UK locations during the Lebanon conflict. ...
The US air force leases a total three bases in Britain - Mildenhall and Lakenheath in Suffolk, and RAF Fairford, Glos - for refuelling purposes.
The IHRC says it is bringing the case "following many complaints that we have received from British citizens whose family members are in Lebanon and facing grave danger as well as acts of terror".

How Arabs have been vouching for friends of friends of friends to get them Visas to get into Germany and they turn out to be Lebanese bombers - and even a reward of 50.000 Euros does not bring these people forward to expose them
