Terrorist crisis - first suspect set to win freedom
KATE FOSTER AND BRIAN BRADY

A SUSPECTED terrorist whose imprisonment without trial was judged illegal by Law Lords is set to walk free within days after his lawyers made a court application for bail.

Scotland on Sunday can reveal that a High Court judge is currently considering whether to grant bail to Abu Rideh, one of 12 men held on suspicion of terrorism following the September 11 attacks.

The Palestinian is suspected of having links to associates of Osama bin Laden both in the UK and overseas and has been detained without trial for the past three years.

Rideh, 33, from Surrey, is currently being held at Broadmoor because of his severe psychiatric problems. While there, he is alleged to have taken a female member of staff hostage and to have tried to cause an explosion.

Last week, the case of Rideh and eight other suspected terrorists plunged the government into a constitutional crisis.
