The Home Secretary has released a man regarded as one of Britain’s most dangerous terror suspects from virtual house arrest to avoid disclosing secret evidence against him, The Times has learnt.
The man, known only as AF, has been subject to a controversial “control order” since 2006 because of his alleged links with Islamic terrorists. He has never been charged, however, and the evidence for the allegations has never been heard in a public court.
The control order was revoked last week and the suspect’s electronic tag removed, setting him free in spite of the Government’s claim that he remains a threat.
Lord Pannick, QC, who led the legal team acting for the man in the House of Lords, said: “The Home Secretary has some explaining to do. Does he now accept that there was no need for the control order which imposed severe restrictions on AF . . . or does he still think there is a need for controls but is unwilling to provide details of the allegations against AF? If the latter, does he accept that the control order regime is defective and should be scrapped?”
AF, who has dual Libyan and British nationality, was one of three terror suspects who won a landmark ruling from nine law lords in July that their detention under the control order regime was illegal. The law lords ruled that the suspects had been denied a fair hearing prior to detention because they had not been told sufficient details of the case against them.

ROFLOL
The muzzies must spend more time laughing at us than praying to be able to kill us...it must make them run on a tight schedule...no matter they are all so “wired up”...
wonder how much oil this deal was worth
it´s the same old story. the us government sells human rights (or everything your constitution stands for’) to saudi arabia. the eu does the same to iran. the EU would sacrifice Israel anytime for a oil deal for example. this is just politics
Ok 007 you next assignment is to take out this scumbag. I can only hope.
I hope they chipped this guy before they turned him loose.
He’d better watch out for errant buses as he crosses the road !
“definitely very much oil. but at the end the so called “west” has allready sold out all it´s principles for oil long time ago. “
I don’t agree with that. Our leaders and the environmentalists have made it quite difficult to drill for oil in the US. I’m sure the middle eastern leaders encourage that with properly applied bribes.
