Titolo: Infamia: 'Pictured: Smiling preacher of hate Abu Qatada enjoying an £800,000 home and a life of benefits'

The picture is an affront to all victims of terrorism and their families.
Abu Qatada, Al Qaeda's ambassador in Europe, strolls along a busy London 
street fondling his prayer beads.
This is the first photograph of the greying 47-year-old - said to be one of 
the world's most dangerous terrorist suspects - since he was released on 
bail from a high-security prison after the courts ordered that he could not 
be sent home to Jordan because his human rights would have been breached.

It was taken on July 7, hours after the families and friends of the 52 
innocent people killed in the London transport suicide bombings three years 
ago remembered their loved ones at a memorial service.
The radical cleric was freed three weeks ago when a judge ruled that there 
were no grounds to detain him after previous attempts to deport him to 
Jordan, where he was convicted of terror attacks and bomb plots, were 
defeated in the courts.
Described by another judge as 'a truly dangerous individual', he remains an 
iconic figure for many supporters of jihad.
Lawyers successfully argued in the Court of Appeal that Qatada could stay 
because evidence used against him in any prosecution in Jordan might have 
been obtained by torture - a breach of the European Convention on Human 
Rights.
The fanatical preacher, who was 20 stone but slimmed down on prison food, 
was pictured on a shopping trip near the £800,000 home he shares with his 
wife and children.
Exact details of the location where the Qatada family are living on benefits 
of an estimated £50,000 a year are protected by court orders.
Despite being under virtual house arrest, the cleric appeared relaxed as he 
walked to nearby shops occasionally stroking his bushy, greying beard.
At one stage, he shared a joke with a woman about his brown prayer beads, 
laughing and then beaming after her comments.
Later, they were replaced in his right hand by a six-pack of Diet Coke 
bottles while under his left arm he clutched a bumper-pack of toilet rolls.
The father of five has claimed incapacity benefit for a bad back but on 
Monday he was wearing a green rucksack in case he needed to carry extra 
goods.
Just above the battered white training shoe on his right foot, and partially 
concealed by a sock, is the electronic tag he must wear as part of his 
strict bail conditions imposed by the Special Immigration Appeals Tribunal.
Qatada is allowed to leave his rented four-bedroom semi for one hour a day 
after 10am and another hour from 2pm.
Other restrictions include not using a mobile telephone - although he can 
use a landline - not using a computer and not having any contact, directly 
or indirectly, with a list of terrorists including Osama Bin Laden.
Neighbours who came forward soon after Qatada was freed spoke of their 
outrage over having such a man in the area while British soldiers are being 
killed in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The decision to free Qatada has left Britain's anti-terror laws in tatters 
and the taxpayer facing a bill of tens of thousands of pounds to keep the 
preacher under surveillance by the security services.
Then there are the handouts - he receives an estimated £150 a week in 
incapacity benefit while his 45-year-old wife is said to be entitled to 
child benefits, income support, housing and council tax credits which exceed 
£800 each week.
According to experts, the benefits are broken down into £499.62 in housing 
and £81.55 for four of the family's children who are under 18.
The family is also said to pick up around £210 in income support - a 
slightly lower figure than usual because of Qatada's incapacity benefit 
payment.
Of the five children, only those aged 17,14, nine and six are eligible for 
the child benefit payments. Their oldest, who is 19, is not entitled to a 
handout.
The couple are exempt from paying the £2,283 yearly council tax bill on 
their home - it is picked up by the authorities. Currently, similar 
properties in the same road as Qatada are being leased for £620 a week.
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has appealed against the decision not to deport 
Qatada to Jordan while the Conservatives have said it is 'offensive' that he 
cannot be thrown out.
The rulings mean that - despite Tony Blair's promise in the aftermath of the 
7/7 attacks that the 'rules of the game have changed' - not a single 
international terrorist has been forcibly removed from this country.
Would any other country treat him quite so well?
Few other countries would have treated Abu Qatada quite so generously as 
Britain. Here, Christian Gysin examines the contrasts...
The U.S.
Qatada would have been arrested under the Terrorism Act and declared a ' 
dangerous person'. He could have expected a life sentence for having had an 
envelope containing money destined for the 'mujahedin in Chechnya'.
If he won an appeal, the U.S. would have tried to return him to Jordan or 
have him extradited to another Middle Eastern country. He would not receive 
any state handouts.
Italy
Suspected terrorists are held in jail and rarely given bail.
Once freed after serving their sentence they are served with a deportation 
order and told to leave the country and held at an illegal immigrant centre 
until they find somewhere to go.
Qatada would not qualify for state benefits. He would not be sent back to 
Jordan because of torture fears.
Spain
Suspected foreign terrorists can be held in isolation for up to 13 days with 
limited rights to a lawyer and can subsequently be detained for up to four 
years on remand.
Spanish rules on extradition are very much in line with those of Britain so 
it is possible Qatada's extradition to Jordan would have been blocked by 
courts.
However, with no rights to be living in Spain it is unlikely Abu Qatada and 
his family would receive any state benefits.
Germany
He would be treated similarly to Britain and would not be extradited to 
Jordan.
The same fears about torture apply and Germany will not extradite if there 
is a risk.
If given residency, Qatada would be held in a refugee holding camp or in 
state accommodation.
In the former he would get just pocket money. If allowed on to the welfare 
system he would find it appreciably less generous than Britain.
France
Would also have refused to deport a terror suspect if there was a risk of 
torture.
If there was clear evidence he had committed terrorist acts, he would be 
held in a secure immigration detention centre or prison until a case against 
him could be brought.
If there was insufficient evidence, he would be freed on bail under strict 
conditions.
Qatada and his family would be entitled to full French state benefits while 
at liberty and living legally in France - with the handouts at a similar 
level to those in the UK.
