Cleric Abu Qatada, who has been described as Osama bin Laden's right-hand man in Europe, is to be released on bail in the next 24 hours. Qatada will be required to wear an electronic tag and remain in his home for 22 hours a day, according to papers released by the Special Immigration Appeals Commission.The cleric has been convicted in his absence in Jordan of involvement with terror attacks in 1998. In April, he defeated the efforts of the British Government to deport him back to Jordan.
| Somebody was afraid that a convicted terrorist would have his rights abridged in some way? |
Qatada once called on British Muslims to martyr themselves. Tapes of his sermons were found in a flat in Germany used by some of the September 11 aircraft hijackers.
Just f*ckin dandy...
