Updated: 2009-02-21 08:05 The European Court of Human Rights found Britain guilty on Thursday of unlawfully detaining nine men under an anti-terrorism law passed after the Sept 11 attacks on the US in 2001. The nine plaintiffs, six Algerians, a Jordanian, a Tunisian and a man registered as stateless but of Palestinian origin, were suspected of having ties with Al-Qaida and held in high-security prisons.
