Radical preacher Abu Qatada granted bail
Radical cleric Abu Qatada is to be released on bail weeks after the European Court of Human Rights blocked his deportation to Jordan.
Mr Justice Mitting told the UK's Special Immigration Appeals Commission the cleric should be freed within days.
The Home Office said it disagreed with the decision and the cleric continued to be a threat to national security.
The UK government opposed attempts to bail him while he fights deportation to Jordan - where he faces terror charges.
