The radical cleric had close links to both 9/11 plotter Zacarias Moussaoui and shoe bomber Richard Reid. Law Lords ruled in February that he could be deported back to his native Jordan.

Qatada was convicted, in his absence, of plotting a series of bomb attacks in the Jordanian capital, Amman, in 1998 and for his involvement with terrorists planning a series of explosions there on millennium night. The Law Lords ruling came after nearly four years of legal wranglings after the preacher was arrested shortly after the 7 July bombings.

Qatada was controversially released from custody last year to his west London home under a 22-hour home curfew after a court ruled it would breach his human rights to deport him.

However, he was re-arrested in November over fears he was planning to abscond. Qatada was granted asylum in the UK in 1993 after arriving on a forged passport.
