“Binyam Mohamed…a British citizen”.

A small point perhaps, but no, Binyam Mohamed is not a British citizen.
He is an Ethiopian, who came to the UK as a an asylum-seeker.
Like the rest of the Guantanamo Five, he was only a “UK resident” at the time when he left the UK for Afghanistan.
He ended up in Guantanamo after being arrested in Pakistan while attempting to fly to the UK using a false passport.
