Abu Qatada cleared of terror charges – but Nick Clegg vows he WON'T return to Britain

RADICAL cleric Abu Qatada has been cleared by a court in Jordan of terror charges – but Nick Clegg has vowed that the Government will fight any attempt by him to return to Britain.Qatada, who has been linked to al-Qaeda, was accused of terror charges over a foiled plot to attack an American school in the Jordanian capital, Amman, in 1999. But the military's State Security Court in Amman today found the 53-year-old innocent for lack of evidence against him.

Separately, the court postponed its ruling on a second set of terrorism charges against the cleric, involving plots in 2000 to attack Israelis, Americans and other Westerners in Jordan. It said it would deliver its verdict in that case in September.

I thought we'd heard the last of him. So, if he's cleared of the remaining charges, how can the UK legally stop him from returning here?

I hope so. The man is a huge drain on the benefits system!

I have heard that his life will be in danger if he returns to the UK . for his own safety he cannot apply for asylum in the UK.
