Radical Muslim cleric wins UK deportation case

LONDON (Reuters) - A radical Muslim cleric described as an "enormous risk" to UK security won a last-minute appeal on Monday against deportation to face terrorism charges in Jordan, in a blow to Britain which has being trying to remove him for a decade.

A senior judge at a special London court said there was a risk that evidence obtained using torture may be used against Abu Qatada and he may not receive a fair trial in Jordan.

The case of Qatada, a Jordanian cleric of Palestinian origin described by a Spanish judge as "Osama bin Laden's right-hand man in Europe", has been a thorn in the side of successive British governments.

Britain says videotapes of his sermons influenced Mohammed Atta, the ringleader of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.

The court ruled there was a "real risk" that evidence obtained by torture from two other men by could be used against him in a Jordanian court.

The ruling, delivered at a special court that deals with security cases, said British interior minister Theresa May had been wrong not to revoke an earlier deportation ruling against Qatada, and allowed his appeal.

The decision is a setback for May and the Conservative-led administration, both keen to foster an image of competence and decisiveness on security issues.

The court was considering whether to grant bail to Qatada, who has been in and out of jail in Britain since his arrest in 2002, spending seven years in detention without charge.

Jordan has convicted him in his absence of sending encouragement to militants there who were planning two bomb attacks in 1999 and 2000.

May's department said in a statement it strongly disagreed with the ruling and would seek leave to appeal.

Robin Tam, a lawyer for the British government, told the court that Qatada "remains a man who poses an enormous risk to national security."

Britain had argued that a 2005 deal with Jordan and more recent diplomatic assurances would ensure that Qatada would obtain a fair trial there.

It had maintained that the agreements with Jordan were sufficient to overcome a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights that Qatada could not be deported because of the possibility that a trial there could use torture evidence.

PFT: Reggie Bush: I deserved to get benched

Buffalo Bills v New England PatriotsGetty Images

Patriots running back Danny Woodhead had a 15-yard rushing touchdown and an 18-yard receiving touchdown Sunday against the Bills, and that has Tom Brady thankful to have Woodhead as a teammate. And thankful for the division rival that made Woodhead available.

Brady said on WEEI that he recognized Woodhead?s talent as soon as Woodhead arrived in New England, and he?s surprised that the Jets, Woodhead?s previous team, let him go.

?I remember his first game,? Brady said. ?We kind of joked on the sideline, [former Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien] and I, we kind of said, ?The legend is born.? We saw him that week in practice, what he was capable of doing, and said, ?Why did the Jets release that guy?? They had him playing receiver and he was a running back in college.?

In fairness to the Jets, the entire NFL overlooked Woodhead, which is why he went undrafted after twice winning the Harlon Hill Trophy as the best player in Division II college football. By signing Woodhead as an undrafted free agent, the Jets were showing that they had at least some faith in his ability to play in the NFL.

But the Jets never fully realized what Woodhead could do, which is why they released him after he had played in 11 games, ran the ball 15 times and caught eight passes. With the Patriots, Woodhead has a bigger role in the offense and is second on the team this year with 49 carries and fourth on the team with 23 catches. Brady is glad to have him.

?He?s just come in and done such a great job,? Brady said. ?He?s the ultimate team player and teammate ? dependable, consistent, you always know the level of play you?re getting from Danny. He had a huge game yesterday for us. We really needed it, because as an offense, I?d say everyone really didn?t have their best day but Danny. He really saved the day for us.?

The Jets, who were held to seven points, 11 first downs and 185 total yards while suffering their third consecutive loss on Sunday, could use a guy like that.
