The Government's anti-terror policy was dealt a second massive blow as the courts forced the Home Office to abandon its deportation case against 12 other terror suspects.

Home Office minister Tony McNulty said Qatada would not be released from jail, and pledged to appeal against the ruling.

In a separate case, two Libyans known only as AS and DD won their appeals against deportation.

The decision led the Home Office to drop the deportation case against them and 10 other Libyans suspected of terrorism.

"We have already taken steps to protect the public," the Home Office spokesman said.

It is believed that AS and DD, who were previously on bail from SIAC, have now been handed control orders.

Other steps - including further control orders - have been imposed on the other 10 Libyans, it is understood.
