PRIME Minister David Cameron said yesterday he was "fed up" that Abu Qatada is still in the country, as the smiling terror suspect returned home following his release from jail.

Qatada was greeted by a crowd of protesters as he arrived home in London following his release from high security prison HMP Long Lartin in Worcestershire.

The radical cleric appeared to smile as he was driven away from jail, and again when he arrived home, after winning the latest round in his battle against deportation.

On a visit to Italy Mr Cameron said: "I am completely fed up with the fact that this man is still at large in our country.

"He has no right to be there, we believe he is a threat to our country."

Qatada, once described as Osama bin Laden's right-hand man in Europe, was released after judges approved his appeal against deportation to Jordan to stand trial.

His bail conditions include a 16-hour curfew, from 4pm to 8am, as well as wearing an electronic tag, not using the internet, and not contacting certain people.

The Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC) ruled that despite assurances from the Arab kingdom, it could not be sure that evidence from witnesses who had been tortured would not be included in a retrial in his homeland.

Qatada was convicted of terror charges in Jordan in his absence in 1999.

Home Secretary Theresa May, who travelled to Jordan earlier this year in a bid to pave the way for Qatada's deportation, has vowed that the Government will continue to fight to "get rid" of him and said the Home Office will appeal against Siac's decision.

    “Hopefully Britain can give him to the Americans to string up:-
    WIKI- 'Tapes of his sermons were later discovered in a Hamburg flat used by the 9/11 hijackers. The Home Office stated that Abu Qatada was the spiritual guide to the 9/11 ringleader Mohammed Atta'”

    “..BBC news website quote- 'a UK court decided he might not get a fair trial in Jordan'..

    Ha ha it's like a pantomime, Jordan want to string him up but soft Britain says 'in that case you can't have him', so Jordan says- 'In that case don't shove him on us'..:)”

    “What planet are you on, CharlieBob? The Jordanians are very keen to put Abu Qatada on trial. That's why he was up for deportation in the first place. You're so busy trolling away to your heart's content, you don't even have the most basic grasp of what the case is about.”

    “"Some people have got a lot to learn about Christianity," says the resident troll, predictably without a shred of self-awareness.

    As you're addicted to pulling words out of your online story book to beat people with, CharlieBob, here's a line straight back at you, which seems particularly apt: "You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." (Matthew 7:5)”

    “Some people have got a lot to learn about Christianity, it gives Qatada exactly the same chance as everybody else, namely turn to Jesus before you die or else go up the spout.
    Same for perverts, people may turn a blind eye to their depravity but they can't get under Jesus's radar: Jesus said "if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea" (Matt 18:6)”

    “@CharlieDodd - Was that you or your Jesus who suggested 'stringing him up'? Double standards, CharlieBob; your halo's slipping.”

    “On the contrary Charlie.
    I'm very pleased that you have finally given up the pretence that you aren't Bob/Jonny/Mick.
    It seems the therapy is paying off.”
