UK: 'Bin Laden aide' Abu Qatada wins extradition appeal



Via France24:
The European Court of Human Rights on Tuesday blocked the extradition by Britain of Jordanian national Abu Qatada, who is alleged to have been Osama Bin Laden's right-hand-man in Europe.

The court in its judgement said there was a "real risk" that evidence against Abu Qatada, a radical British-based Muslim cleric, had been "obtained by torture of third persons" in custody in Jordan.
