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.

I’m with you on this. Compassion is for the sick, the poor, the unemployed. It is not for demonic terrorists who will fight to their death to destroy us. And we allow them to attack us around the globe instead of reducing the responsible countries to glass. Because we still think being nice will keep us from attack.
There will be future attacks. They will not stop trying to destroy us.
Besides, I thought we did not negotiate with terrorists.

Bush realized that, Trump does not. DoJ just recently indicted some jihadis.

No. The real question is why he wasn’t immediately shot or hanged. What a pathetic waste of taxpayers’ money .

Mike Myers is sui generis. I even enjoyed his guru movie. Call me juvenile.
