BBC: Bomb plot suspect halts evidence

[CJCRANE]

"Omar Khyam said Pakistani security officials had contacted his family
The jury in the trial of seven men accused of plotting to bomb UK targets was sent home after a defendant refused to give further evidence in court."

Here's the interesting part:

"...I just want to say the ISI in Pakistan has had words with my family relating to what I have been saying about them," he told the court.

"I think they are worried I might reveal more about them, so right now, as much as I want to clarify matters, the priority for me has to be the safety of my family so I am going to stop.

"I am not going to discuss anything related to the ISI any more or the evidence."

4. I thought this story

was quite interesting in light of the relationship the ISI has to MI6 and the CIA and the alleged role of its head in ordering funds transferred to the 9/11 hijackers...
