ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A radical Muslim cleric jailed for terrorist offences has been released early under a controversial Government scheme to ease prison overcrowding, the Daily Telegraph has learned.

In pictures: Yassin Nassari’s terror blueprints

Yassin Nassari, 29, was jailed for three and half years last July for possessing material that would be useful to terrorists.

Nassari was freed from Wakefield prison last month
He was caught trying to smuggle blueprints showing how to build a missile into Britain but was cleared of a more serious charge of possessing articles for terrorist purposes.

Nassari was freed from Wakefield prison last month under the ‘end of custody licence’ scheme which allows inmates to leave jail up to 18 days before the half-way point of their term.

It was brought in as an emergency measure to ease pressures on the system caused by a record rise in the number of prisoners to more than 80,000.

Figures to be released on Monday will show that more than 20,000 offenders have been released early since the scheme came into effect last summer.

However, Nassari is believed to be the first sentenced to terrorist-related crimes to benefit.”

“Terrorist releases prompt U-turn”
By Dominic Casciani
BBC News home affairs reporter

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Ministers have changed a controversial early release scheme after admitting two terrorism convicts were let out of jail early to ease prison overcrowding.

The justice ministry said that people convicted under terrorism laws would no longer be eligible for early release.

Yassin Nassari left Wakefield Prison in February after being jailed last summer for three and a half years.

The BBC understands the second man was Abdul Muneem Patel, released from Glen Parva prison on 7 January this year.

Nassari, 28, from Ealing in west London, was arrested in May 2006 at Luton Airport carrying what police said were blueprints for a rocket in his luggage. He was convicted in July 2007 of having articles of use to terrorists.

Abdul Muneem Patel: Jailed over explosives manual
Scotland Yard detectives had arrested him after he arrived on a flight from Amsterdam. They found a computer hard-drive in his luggage including documents about martyrdom and weapons training.

They also found a blueprint for a home-made Qassam rocket, used by Palestinian militants to target Israel.

Experts told his trial the blueprint was detailed enough to manufacture a rocket. Detectives also linked Nassari to extremist websites and chatrooms.

Patel, of east London, was jailed for six months at the Old Bailey in October 2007 after a jury found him guilty of having a terrorism-related explosives manual. The judge said there was no reasonable excuse to have the manual - but added the teenager was not a “radicalised or politicised Islamist”.”
