A doctor involved in horrific torture by Saddam Hussein’s henchmen is working in British hospitals.
In an astonishing immigration scandal, border officials have allowed the suspected war criminal to treat thousands of British patients.
Dr Mohammed Kassim Al-Byati was given a permit to work as a doctor in the NHS by the Labour government in 2004.
Checks failed to uncover his history of working for the notorious Iraqi Intelligence Agency, which ran the country in a reign of terror during the Saddam years.
His job was to patch up torture victims so that they could be subjected to more appalling treatment.
In 2007, Al-Byati contacted the Home Office to confess to his horrific past so that he could claim asylum.
But, incredibly, this did not prevent him from carrying on earning tens of thousands of pounds working at a hospital in Wales.
Even now, despite his file being referred to a specialist war crimes unit, he remains cleared by the General Medical Council, and has been working in the West Midlands.
The details have only now been unearthed by Home Secretary Theresa May, who was ‘horrified’ to discover what had been taking place.
She has ordered an urgent inquiry, and is planning changes to the rules to stop any similar cases slipping through the net.
There will also be a shake-up of the UK Border Agency war crimes unit. Whitehall sources say the case shows the total shambles which UKBA became under Labour.
At its heart lies the Human Rights Act and a little-known EU directive which permitted the doctor to work even when his past was known.

Anyone still liking the British health system?
Calling Dr. Mengele. There is a job available for you in England.
This guy really belongs in the British health system
The NHS jokes just write themselves...
England can't be that stupid can they?
He can write his own ticket for a job in Obama’s cabinet. How about “Safe Brain Surgery Czar.” If he won’t accept that he could head up Obamacare.
there is no England anymore
Torture and dental work. The two things British health care doesn’t cover.
The lucky ones die.
Funny - I thought he’d obtained employment at my dentist’s office....
England is an island and it’s still getting invaded. WTF. . . ? And I don’t mean win the future.
And the best thing is, we can get you in to see him right away. No wait.
Great, Britain!
Firing someone because they once worked for a bad organization would most likely disqualify every member of Obama's administration.
It might even be racist. No. I am sure this is racist. Or anti islamic or mohammedphoophic.
Bush's fault. If he had not invaded Iraq this fine muslim doctor would still be helping the free citizens of Iraq.
“mohammedphoophic”? lol
The joke is on England. And, to think, they still have Michael Savage banned from their country.
LOL
Considering the state of the UK health care system, how could they tell?
In an astonishing immigration scandal, border officials have allowed the suspected war criminal to treat thousands of British patients.
Well, they do have a shortage of doctors, so a port in any storm.
The Brits don’t know one savage from another!
