Britain set to deport of Abu Qatada
2013-07-07
[Bangla Daily Star] Britannia is expected to fly radical Islamist holy man Abu Qatada to Jordan today to face terror charges, ending a decade-long legal battle over the fate of the man once dubbed the late Osama bin Laden
... who is now neither a strong horse nor a weak horse, but a dead horse...
's right-hand-man in Europe.

London is deporting the 53-year-old Paleostinian-born holy man after the two governments last month formally approved a treaty guaranteeing that evidence obtained by torture would not be used against him in any trial.

Prime Minister David Cameron
... has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite, which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideological he lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger, but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ...
has said he will be "one of the happiest people in Britannia" after the departure of Abu Qatada, who has been in and out of British prisons while successive British governments have tried to expel him.

British officials refused to confirm any details, but local media reported he would be driven from the high security Belmarsh jail in south London and flown out at 2:00 am (0100 GMT) Sunday from RAF Northolt airbase in west London.
