Britain: Deportation ruling blow to terror strategy
Plans to deport terror suspects have been dealt a devastating blow after judges ruled that it was wrong to return suspects even if a memorandum of understanding existed between Britain and another country.
The Home Office was forced to abandon plans to deport 12 other suspects being held in Britain as a result.
