Terror suspect freed from UK jail

BBC

A foreign terror suspect held in the UK without trial or charge since December 2001 has been freed from jail, Home Secretary Charles Clarke has confirmed.

The man, an Egyptian known only as C, was let out of Woodhill Prison near Milton Keynes at 1900 GMT on Monday.

In a statement, Mr Clarke said there was not enough evidence to maintain his certification as a terrorist suspect.

C's release, which his lawyer says has no conditions attached, came after three other detainees were given bail.

1. why is the poor guy labelled a terrorist suspect when ...
... Clarke said in relation to certification as terrorist suspect: "As part of this process, I concluded... that the weight of evidence in relation to C at the current time does not justify the continuance of the certificate. I therefore decided to revoke the certificate with immediate effect."

The BBC should now better. This pisses me off, and we should not let them, the government and the media, get a way with mis-labelling people.
