UK court: Radical preacher can be deported from UK

LONDON: Britain’s highest court says extremist preacher Abu Qatada can be deported to Jordan.
He is accused of being a threat to national security, of raising funds for terror groups and of providing spiritual guidance to Islamic terrorists. British authorities have been trying to deport Abu Qatada to Jordan where he has been convicted for his role in two bombings, but appeals courts had ruled that he could not be sent there because he could face torture.

The Home Office appealed and the Law Lords on Wednesday reversed the appeal court’s ruling. Abu Qatada arrived in Britain in 1993 and claimed asylum for himself and his family.
