THE government has been conducting negotiations with north African countries to extradite terrorist suspects held without charge at Belmarsh prison. Talks have been held between Baroness Symons, the Foreign Office minister, and the governments of Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia to draw up a treaty to deport terrorist suspects to their home countries, where they are also wanted. One of the men is an Algerian accused of attending a terrorist "camp" in Dorset. Another is said to be spiritual head of the group behind the Casablanca bombs in 2003.The deal being negotiated by Symons, who visited the three countries last month, would give the government a way out of the row over the detention without charge of foreign terrorist suspects. On Friday Tony Blair signalled he was prepared to offer concessions to opponents of home detention for terrorist suspects. They are expected to include giving judges a role in imposing the so-called "control orders". Foreign Office officials confirmed last weekend that the talks with the three countries had dealt with security co-operation and counterterrorism. Algerian diplomatic sources said Britain had agreed to draft an agreement for mutual extradition.
