Abu Qatada is driven away after being refused bail at a hearing at London's Special Immigration Appeals Commission, which handles deportation and security cases, in London. New pledges from Jordan to offer a fair trial to the radical Islamist cleric should end Britain's lengthy campaign to send the preacher to the Arab country, Home Secretary Theresa May told lawmakers Tuesday. Since 2001, authorities in Britain have been trying to expel Abu Qatada, a Palestinian-Jordanian preacher described in both Spanish and British courts as a leading al-Qaeda figure in Europe.
