Qatada, 53, is due finally to be put on a plane at RAF Northolt in west London around 2am on Sunday.
It will carry British officials and Jordanians who will take charge of the Islamic fundamentalist when it lands at an isolated airstrip.
Qatada, who faces terrorism charges in his home country, is expected to be taken to the maximum security Muwaqqar prison in a military zone near the capital Amman.
Once inside the jail he will be put in solitary confinement until Jordan’s authorities are ready to quiz him about his alleged involvement in two bomb plots in the late 1990s. The father-of-five was found guilty in his absence of terror offences and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1999. » | Friday, July 05, 2013
