Terror suspects go free
Six foreign terror suspects were today freed on conditional bail from Belmarsh prison after being detained for up to three years, Home Office sources said
The six were Abu Qatada - described by one British judge as a "truly dangerous individual" - and those known only as E, H, K, P and Q.
The men were thought to have left custody under the same strict conditions imposed on another detainee, named A, who walked free last night after a ruling by the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (Siac).
Scotland Yard chief Sir Ian Blair has warned that every one of them remains "a grave threat to national security".
If Parliament passes the Prevention of Terrorism Act today, Home Secretary Charles Clarke intends to impose new-style control orders on the released detainees next week.
It was unclear what the fate of the men would be if the new Act was not passed.
