Radical cleric Abu Qatada has arrived in Jordan to face terrorism charges after being deported from the UK.
His plane left earlier today to take him to his home country, which he has not visited in 20 years. He was accompanied on the flight of around five hours by six people from Jordan, comprising three security officials, a psychologist, a medical examiner and his Jordanian lawyer.
Abu Qatada was first arrested over alleged terror connections in 2001 and the battle to deport him has cost the UK more than £1.7m ($2.5m).
His deportation was finally able to proceed after the UK and Jordan signed a treaty agreeing that evidence obtained through torture would not be used against him.
