Osama bin Laden's ex-London spokesman is ‘freed early from 25 year US jail term because he is at high risk from Covid due to his obesity' and 'will return to the UK within weeks'

Osama bin Laden's ex-London spokesman has been freed from a US jail to return to Britain on compassionate grounds - because he at high risk from coronavirus due to his obesity.

Terror spin doctor Adel Abdel Bary, 60, was imprisoned over the devastating 1998 attacks on US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed 224 people.

He was arrested the next year and extradited to America where he struck a plea deal which ended with him being sentenced to 25 years behind bars in 2015.

Bary had been charged with 285 offences, eventually pleaded guilty to just a handful, including threatening to kill by means of explosive and conspiracy to murder US citizens abroad.

But the terrorist, who leased London offices in Kilburn lane for bin Laden’s propaganda activities, had 16 years taken off due to the time he had spent on remand. He was born in Egypt but granted asylum in Britain in the early 1990s.

He is the father of ISIS jihadi Abdel-Majed Abdel, who was arrested in Spain after travelling to Syria where he posed with the severed head of an Assad regime soldier.

Bary was supposed to be eligible for release from prison on October 28, but on Wednesday a judge ruled he could go early on compassionate grounds over coronavirus because he is obese and asthmatic - conditions that put him more at risk.

He is currently in a US immigration and customs enforcement detention facility until he is sent back to the UK.

The move is understood to have prompted concern among UK officials who the Times report are even mulling over whether to ask if he can stay in America.

Bary cannot even be placed under a Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures because he has already served his sentence.

A mask and social distancing shouldn’t be too hard in prison.

Wait, 2015 - 2020 is only five years.
238 charges!

American citizens are at risk of more for drastic sentences SERVED for speeding, selling a firearm to a family member without a Brady check, or missing a tax return!

I want truth in sentencing, ALL of it.

Well, volunteering in my church prison ministry we were kept out of the DOC facilities for months. The problem they had was inmates were being transferred from one facility to another. If one transfer was positive it would create an outbreak...and did.

Having said all that, this guy gettin’ out is outrageous.

Good thing he wasn't a "White Supremacist"; he'd have been in jail until he rotted. I guess this guy had a muslim go free pass from Obama and decided now is the time to use it.

Too bad his victims didn't get the same light treatment.

Be a shame if he fell out of the plane somewhere over the Atlantic on his way back.

He was imprisoned awaiting trial for 16 years according to the article. That got deducted. Which it should be. The real question is why didn't he get 300+ years

So the prosecution was too lazy to get the proper death sentence.

Sixteen years awaiting trial is way too long, should have given him a fair and speedy trial right away!

Then hung him from a long drop with 328 pounds tied to his waist.

We will never defeat Islamic jihad by treating it as a criminal problem.

How did he remain so fat while in prison?

More evidence those releasing terrorists and violent criminals from prison care more about them than about the safety of the public.

I just have to say it: This is when America fvking sux.

This country is so compassionate to fvking scum.

I knew Marines who were connected to the Beirut Bombing,fellow Army soldiers who went to Mogadishu and those connected to the Khobar Towers slaughter. Let's not forget we just declared "Peace" with the Taliban.Muslims are in our government and NYC is now a sh*thole almost 20 years post Bin Laden's 9/11. I just will never understand.
