Abu Qatada may leave Britain voluntarily
 Radical cleric Abu Qatada will return to Jordan voluntarily if the Jordanian parliament ratifies a deal with Britain that ensures he will receive a fair trial, the cleric's lawyer said on Friday.
| I'd prefer he leave trussed and cuffed but voluntary to the tender mercies of the Jordanian secret police is good enough... |
Britain's government has for years tried to deport Qatada, who is accused of being Osama bin Laden's right-hand man in Europe, but has been embarrassed by repeated rebuffs by judges who have blocked the move due to concerns he will receive an unfair trial.
