[An Nahar] The family of Abu Qatada, the radical holy man who was recently deported to face terror charges in Jordan, on Thursday left Britannia after dropping a bid to stay there, the Foreign Office said."Abu Qatada's wife and five children have now left the UK," said a British government statement.
"The family has formally agreed to drop an outstanding application for 'Indefinite Leave to Remain'."
This allows people who have lived legally in Britannia for a certain length of time to apply for permission to settle permanently.
The ministry would not reveal where the family was heading, but the BBC reported they were to join Abu Qatada in Jordan.
A family friend told Agence La Belle France Presse last month that his wife and five children were planning to move to Amman.
