Hate preacher Abu Qatada will be released from jail within days after a judge today granted him bail.
Despite claims the radical Muslim cleric
still poses a risk to national security, Mr Justice Mitting ruled today
at a hearing of the Special Immigration Appeals Commission that he can
be freed. He is expected to be released next week.
Qatada,
51, once described as 'Osama bin Laden's right-hand man in Europe', is
free to continue fighting his deportation to Jordan - where he's wanted
on suspicion of a Millennium bomb plot.
Speaking after today's ruling, a Home Office spokesman said the Government 'disagreed with the court's decision'.
He
said: 'Qatada should remain in detention, our view has not changed.
This is a dangerous man who we believe poses a real threat to our
security and who has not changed in his views or attitude to the UK.'
