A FORMER Al Qaeda suspect was flown back to Britain on a luxury jet yesterday – at Government expense.
Now taxpayers face a massive bill for his new life on benefits.
Alleged torture victim Binyam Mohamed, 30, stepped off a twin-engined Gulfstream at an RAF base after more than six years as a US prisoner being held in Guantanamo Bay.
Accompanied on the flight by two Foreign Office officials, two Metropolitan Police officers and a doctor, Ethiopian Mohamed’s return to his adopted country cost an amazing £120,000.
Last night, he was preparing to apply for indefinite leave to remain in the UK and receive a possible £21,600-a-year in benefits and allowances.
That’s around £5,000 more than earned by a frontline British soldier risking his life to fight Mohamed’s alleged Taliban associates in Afghanistan.
The former detainee, a failed asylum seeker who was once granted British resident status, may also try to sue the British Government for hundreds of thousands of pounds in damages.
Foreign Secretary David Miliband came under fire for saying he was “pleased” Mohamed – once accused of plotting terror attacks on New York – was back on British soil.

Should have been the unheated cargo hold of a C-130.
That's a pittance compared to what the ACLU, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International will secure for him when they sue the US on his behalf in international court.
Not only will he attack the US again, but he'll use our money to do it. HOPE AND CHANGE!
This guy was such a threat to everyone that the Pakistani’s turned him in. Maybe they’ll give him a nobel...
This action by the Zero-one is a really bad idea.
They should have opened the door and let him out early at about 35K feet
I’m sure Mohamed would just love to slit Miliband’s throat if given the chance. Go ahead Davy boy! Yuk it up and kiss his ass. Mo is happy to be back on your soil too.
> Should have been the unheated cargo hold of a C-130.
Should have been an open bomb bay at 30,000 ft.
That works too.
David Miliband may one day find himself and his loved ones marching into the Infidel Beheading Centers. I’m sure he’ll be “pleased.”
Lovely
Apparently crime does pay.
This will give the British ROP adherents many a chuckle over the next several years
And when this animal blows up a bus or marketplace in the Islamicly whipped country formally know as “Great” Britain, his religious affiliation and passed history will be passed over.
Maybe he can come back and finish the job..... no, now he can hire someone to do it while he sips his champagne on the veranda.
Was there an honor guard waiting for him at the airport?
“As MPs and campaigners vented their fury, Downing Street denied suggestions that Gordon Brown agreed to take him back in return
for being the first European leader to meet President Barack Obama at the White House next week.”
” Mohamed’s journey to Britain from the Guantanamo Bay prison complex in Cuba was in the lap of luxury.
The Gulfstream jets, normally hired by business executives and stars, boast gourmet meals and “premium beverages”.
Careful there, that’s how the argentine military got rid of the “dissappeared”, food for the fishes in the atlantic.
The traitors in our midst want us utterly destroyed.
It will be us, or them.
