Be asking if he is an inspiration in oui be asking if he is an inspiration in our country. Good evening and welcome to bbc news. A british fighter who so called Islamic State claim died in a Suicide Bombing in iraq was a former detainee at Guantanamo Bay. 50 year old Ronald Fiddler was released from there in 2004 and was reportedly given compensation of up to £1 million by the government. Is claim that he detonated a car bomb in the last few days at an iraqi army base south west of mosul. Theres been fierce fighting there involving iraqi troops and British Special forces. 0ur security correspondent, frank gardner, reports. The face of a suicide bomber, a british man used by so called Islamic State to blow himself up in iraq. Is that the stock market . He was born Ronald Fiddler, from manchester, changing his name to jamal udeen al harith. This is him soon after his release, from two years in us detention at Guantanamo Bay. And this is where he chose to end his life, mosul in northern iraq. Here, the bbc has been covering the intense fighting by iraqi forces to dislodge is from their second city. 0utgunned and outmanned, the jihadists have had to resort to booby traps and Suicide Bombers to try and slow down the iraqi advance. Al hariths journey began straight after the 9 11 attacks. In october 2001, he travelled to quetta in pakistan. He was arrested the same year and eventually ta ken to the us base in kandahar. In 2002, he was transferred to Guantanamo Bay. Two years later, he was repatriated to britain and released, reportedly winning compensation from the government. Then in april 2014, he entered syria from turkey to join is as a fighter. Im mystified as to how this person travelled to syria, i can only assume under a false name or a false passport. People who served time in guantanamo would have been watched carefully by the british and american intelligence agencies, in my view. Al harith was one of hundreds of men taken from afghanistan to be imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay without trial. There is very little the Security Services can do to monitor all of them all the time. Speaking to panorama after al hariths release from guantanamo, his family spoke of the transformation they saw in him. He may have changed a little bit when he converted into a muslim and becamejamal. He may have changed as in he didnt do all the bad things like going to clubs, going out and meeting girls, smoking, drinking. He turned into a placid person. In the end, though, it seems he chose to die for a group thats committed unspeakable acts on innocent people. Frank gardner, bbc news.

Three judges at the Court Of Appeal have made it clear the Current System in which only gay couples can have a Civil Partnership and not straight couples cannot continue indefinitely. While they rejected a challenge by a heterosexual couple from london who want a Civil Partnership, they acknowledged the couple had a potential case for discrimination, increasing pressure on the government to consider a change in the law.
