Bearded creep.
Abu Qatada will not be allowed to return to Britain after the deported radical Muslim preacher was acquitted by a Jordanian court of terror charges, Downing Street said today. Qatada will be refused entry to Britain if he attempts to return, "end of story", the Prime Minister's Official Spokesman said.
The Islamist cleric was found not guilty of terrorism offences over an alleged plot in 1998 to carry out al Qaeda-style attacks against US targets and others. The acquittal came after a decade-long legal battle between the British Government and Qatada as he tried to stay in the UK. He was finally deported last year.
"He can't come back and he won't come back," the spokesman said.
Qatada was handed an indefinite deportation order and the British courts deem him a risk to national security, Downing Street said. The spokesman added: "He was put on a plane to Jordan and he isn't coming back." Nick Clegg, defended the cleric’s deportation to Jordan and said “we don’t want this man back”. He told LBC radio: “What is absolutely clear to me is this man needed to face justice and needed to do so out of the United Kingdom and that's what this government finally achieved." However the cleric will continue to be held on separate charges from a plot to attack tourists during Jordan's New Year celebrations in 2000.
