Top 'terrorism suspect' freed: report

LONDON (AFP) – The government has released a man it considers a top dangerous terrorist suspect from virtual house arrest, possibly to avoid disclosing secret evidence against him, a report said Monday.

The unnamed man has been closely monitored and his movements severely restricted since 2006 because of his alleged links with Islamic terrorists, although he has never been charged, the Times said.

His control order, which confines him to his home for 16 hours a day, was revoked last week and his electronic monitoring tag removed, despite government claims that he remains a threat, the newspaper said.

The man, who has dual Libyan and British nationality, and is known only as AF, was one of three suspects who won a landmark legal ruling in July that their control order was illegal.

The law lords ruled that the suspects had been denied a fair hearing prior to detention because they had not been given details of the cases against them.

The ruling opened the way for up to 20 men held under control orders to challenge their detention and to seek to know the cases against them."

You know, somehow I don’t think the function of US Secretary of State is prominent in this cabinet. In fact, the cabinet is not needed. After all, the president has a czar for each important issue.

I'm sure MI6 chatted with Mr. P of the CIA who reported to Holder who demanded the terrorist be released and the Brits complied, therefore, Obama's Fault. And if the above did not happen, that means the Brits have NO RESPECT for Zero's Administration, end result, Obama's Fault.

Either a big set up by Brit Intel, or another example of the trash in charge of the UK as they work to destroy their little nation.

Somewhere in the private files of the Saudis there are photos of Gordon Brown doing the dirty with another man.
