So lets do a quick recap - he has admitted in his book to metting with Jamaat-e-Islami and then going to Afganistan - then under the control of the Taliban - to a terrorist training camp and another run by unidentified arabs.
Sarah, first off check out Begg's wikipedia page.
Have to say that Mr Begg has an unusual choice of holiday destinations to be fair.
Secondly we only have his word, the word of a proven liar, a jihadist, a terrorist that he was tortured.
He has been involved in jihadist politics for a long long time.
He was disappointed not to be able to make it to the war-torn republic, but a few years later he moved, with his family, to an even more exotic location.
