Zaoui Interview found
The Security Intelligence Service suddenly unearthed a second recording of the audio of the seven hour marathon interview. Zaoui's lawyers have asked for the video tape but were then told by the SIS that an hour of it was "missing".
In a new letter to the lawyers it was revealed that the second audio recording was made that covers all but two minutes while tapes "were being changed".
Zaoui has been in prison for a year during which time his refugee status has been confirmed. He arrived in New Zealand requesting political asylum. He has been held in custody under new terrorism legislation ever since.
Mr Zaoui's lawyers have expressed concern that the Inspector General of Security and Intelligence, Laurie Grieg, reponsible for the security risk certificate review appeared to also not be aware of the missing evidence.
