Yesterday the Centre issued a press release revealing how Abu Qatada, the radical Jordanian preacher freed on Tuesday, has previously given pro-jihadist talks while living in the UK. The recorded talks - which are all in Arabic - were obtained by the Centre from a pro-jihadist website run by UK-based extremists.
The Centre argued that these and other recordings show that Abu Qatada should be prosecuted by British courts for glorifying terrorism and inciting violence. The press release, which contains partial transcripts of some of Abu Qatada's speeches, is available here.
It seems very strange that the Government did not obtain this information prior to his release
