Abu Qatada -- Bin Laden's Right Hand Man In Europe Released From Prison

Abu Qatada

From Yahoo News:

LONDON (AFP) - A radical Muslim cleric once described as "Osama bin Laden's right-hand man in Europe" was released from prison Tuesday, but with strict conditions including a ban on attending mosques.

The Home Office announced last month that Abu Qatada, who first arrived in Britain in the early 1990s but disappeared before new anti-terror laws came in after September 11, 2001, would be freed on bail.

On Tuesday the Special Immigration Advisory Commission (SIAC) published the detailed bail and curfew conditions, which include wearing an electronic tag and being subject to a 22-hour-a-day curfew at an undisclosed location.
