Bin Laden's "Right Hand Man" To Remain In UK
Breaking News: Terror suspect Abu Qatada cannot be deported to Jordan because he risks not getting a fair trial, judges ruled today.
Last year a special panel ruled that the extremist cleric should be booted out of Britain; today's Court of Appeal ruling overturned this and means that he and two Libyan terror suspects cannot be returned to the Middle East, despite the government having gained signed assurances from Jordan and Libya that the men would not be tortured.
The Daily Mail reports that if Britain's Law Lords and the European Court rule Abu Qatada cannot be tried, Britain may have to free him. The newspaper suggests that he would then be eligible for British welfare benefits.
The government is determined to ensure that Abu Qatada, who has been described as Osama Bin Laden's "right hand man in Europe", is removed from Britain and will contest the ruling.
