Ex Terror Suspect Cashes In On Xbox Date: Monday, June 01, 2009 Source: The Sun Online

A Brit who spent two years in Guantanamo Bay as a terror suspect is cashing in with a computer game based on the US detention camp. Moazzam Begg, 41, will appear as himself in the Xbox 360 game, which could rake in £3million. Rendition: Guantanamo, due to go on sale in October, lets players control a detainee trying to shoot his way out. Begg, of Sparkhill, Birmingham, is shown in the game as head of an organisation helping the suspect to escape. Human rights activist Begg was thrown into the camp on Cuba in 2003 after the CIA held him in Pakistan. He claims he was tortured before being freed without charge in 2005. Begg said any money he is paid will go to a charity fighting for detainees’ rights. He said: “The software firm approached me with the idea for a Guantanamo game. I’m involved to make sure it is as true to life as possible.” Zarrar Chishti, director of the Scottish firm spending £250,000 to produce the game, said: “We checked with police and security services. We didn’t want MI5 knocking our door down. “We are expecting an extreme reaction to the game in the US. But we think it will sell well in the Middle East.” To see the article please click on the link below. The Sun Online Courtesy of SecurityOracle.com - The Secury Industry's Portal
