A radical cleric once described as Osama bin Laden’s right-hand man in Europe will be banned from taking one of his children to school when he is released from prison in Britain, it emerged Monday. Qatada, who reports say could be freed on Monday while he fights deportation to Jordan, will not be allowed out of his home in London during school opening and closing times, sources told the Press Association.
Under the terms of his release, Qatada must obey a 22-hour curfew and will be kept in during the school run. The Home Office, or interior ministry, declined to comment. The reports said he will be allowed outside his London home within a prescribed area which will not coincide with school opening and closing times. It is understood the details were agreed on Friday by the Special Immigration Appeals Commission, which ruled that the cleric should be released.
