British Muslim Cleric

A British Muslim cleric who once preached that gays should be put to death has left Australia after his visa was cancelled, with authorities today saying it is unlikely he will ever be allowed back.

British Prime Minister David Cameron has delayed a trip to Saudi Arabia, the Times newspaper reported today, but cited senior officials as saying this was unconnected to regional tensions sparked by the execution of a Shi'ite Muslim cleric.

Radical Muslim cleric Abu Qatada could be deported to Jordan to face trial on terrorism charges within weeks, a British court heard on Monday, and it ruled he should remain in jail in the meantime to prevent him from absconding.

The British government announced Wednesday that it has signed a new treaty with Jordan in a bid to ease human rights concerns preventing the deportation of a radical Muslim preacher accused of links to al-Qaida.

The British government on Wednesday lost the latest round of its long-running legal battle to deport radical Muslim cleric Abu Qatada, who is wanted in his native Jordan after having been convicted of terrorism charges in 1999.
