A High Court judge has thrown out the Libyan military commander's damages claim against the British government for its alleged role in his detention and rendition, saying it is not a matter for U.K. courts. Judge Peregrine Simon added Friday, Dec. 20, 2013, that while Abdel Hakim Belhaj's claim was "well-founded" pursuing it would be "damaging to the national interest." (AP Photo/Francois Mori, File)
