Britain Releases Terrorism Suspect after ECHR Ruling

Britain has released Abu Qatada, an Islamic preacher with connections to the 9/11 attacks and Osama bin Laden, following a ruling from the European Court of Human Rights blocking his deportation to Jordan.  Britain had detained Abu Qatada for six years without charging him for six years, and had hoped to have him face trial in Jordan.  The ECHR found that some of the evidence against Abu Qatada might have been discovered through torture, which would have prevented a fair trial.  The issue poses a dilemma for British lawmakers and security forces, who have attempted to handle terrorist suspects through civilian courts, not always successfully.
