Meanwhile, the man known as “Osama bin Laden’s ambassador in Europe”—Abu Qatada—is facing deportation to Jordan after British officials brokered a potentially groundbreaking extradition deal. Qatada is a Jordanian national and is wanted by eight police forces across three continents and is currently under house arrest in London. Under English law, a foreign national cannot be deported if he faces the risk of mistreatment or the death sentence. Human rights groups have raised concern about what they fear may become a pattern of Britain deporting Muslims that criticize British policy.
