An African man has claimed he was tortured by the CIA with Westlife's My Love played at ear splitting levels.

In court papers it's emerged the newlywed Tanzanian man was told by interrogators they had picked a ballad especially for him.

Suleiman Abdullah Salim was eventually handed over to the US military, which released him in 2008, acknowledging he posed no threat to America.

He is one of three former prisoners suing two psychologists who implemented the CIA's torture plan.

The American Civil Liberties Union is representing the men, one of whom, Gul Rahman, died as a result of the torture he suffered.
