SNIPPET: "Radical Islamic cleric Abu Qatada has been issuing messages to his followers from his British jail cell, according to anti-extremism researchers.

Statements said to be from the Jordanian have appeared recently on a number of extremist websites.

The Quilliam Foundation think tank say Abu Qatada has released three letters from prison in four months.

But the Prison Service says Quilliam's claims that it has been incompetent are "completely unfounded".

Abu Qatada was once dubbed Osama bin Laden's spiritual ambassador to Europe and recently lost a battle to stay in the UK."

SNIPPET: "There is no direct proof that the statements were issued by Abu Qatada - but Quilliam says evidence links the posts to Islamist associates of Abu Qatada. The content of the messages is also consistent with Abu Qatada's previous statements.

' Inciting violence'

Ed Husain of the Quilliam Foundation says it was possible that the leaks were occurring either through Abu Qatada's visitors, despite them being restricted, or possibly through his lawyers."
