Never faced a criminal charge here in the UK. There's an extradition warrant from Jordan where he's accused of playing a part in a bomb plot. Problem is it seems that the evidence against his has been extracted by torture.
"Abu Qatada, whose real name is Omar Othman, is subject to bail conditions including being allowed out of his house only between 08:00 and 16:00, having to wear an electronic tag, and being restricted in who he meets."
Why worry about a front man, keeping all us all happy to wish Him elsewhere?
its his mates that we don't know about, like the doctors doing the airport in scotland that need watching, if we can locate them, and i am sure any cells are not going to get in touch with him and blow their cover, so just dump him in the ocean.
