Times Wire Reports
Extremist preacher Abu Qatada, once called Osama bin Laden’s ambassador to Europe, faces a hearing after being rearrested in West London.
Abu Qatada was taken into custody over the weekend, apparently for violating his strict bail conditions, according to British newspaper reports.
British government officials maintain that the Palestinian-Jordanian preacher had ties to convicted would-be shoe bomber Richard Reid and to Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person convicted in the United States for the Sept. 11 attacks.
