OBL's Right Hand Man in Europe to Be Out on Bail in 24 Hours

So what does Britain do with a "truly dangerous individual" who was "heavily involved, indeed at the centre of terrorist activities associated with al-Qa'eda."? Why release them on bail! Telegraph

But don't worry, the bail restrictions are very strict. My favourite restriction is Abu Qatada banned from communicating with Osama Bin Laden. Hell, let him communicate with Bin Laden (if he's still alive), maybe then we'll find the fucker and send a hellfire up his ass.

atada, who is accused of giving advice and support to terrorists including the leader of the September 11 hijackers, has been described in official documents as a "truly dangerous individual" who was "heavily involved, indeed at the centre of terrorist activities associated with al-Qa'eda."

....

The bail order was signed this afternoon and he is expected to be released from Long Lartin jail in Worcestershire tomorrow.

He is will be electronically tagged and put under a 22-hour curfew at his family home in Acton, West London.

He will not be allowed a mobile phone or access to the internet and the bail conditions include a long list of Islamic radicals with whom he is banned from communicating, including Osama bin Laden.

Some of the bail money was put up by Norman Kember, after Qatada made an appeal for his release from captivity in Baghdad in November 2005. He was eventually released by the SAS.

The Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has said she will appeal the decision to refuse his deportation.

The Home Office say Qatada provided religious and spiritual advice to extremist groups almost from the moment he arrived in Britain from Jordan in 1993

He is said to have offered guidance in response to requests for authority to carry out attacks and terrorist cells have been motivated by his speeches and writings.
