(Daily Mail) — Hate preacher Abu Qatada will receive round-the-clock police protection costing £10,000 a week after he is released from prison tomorrow.
Officers will guard Qatada’s West London home where a panic alarm has been installed over fears he and his family may be attacked by vigilante mobs.
The Police have a ‘duty of care’ to protect him , his wife and five children and have drawn up plans to move them to a safe-house in the event of an emergency.
Security Minister James Brokenshire is scheduled to fly to Jordan this week in the hope Qatada can be deported there to face charges of terrorism.
