Abu Qatada, a radical Muslim cleric once described as Osama bin Laden's right-hand man in Europe, can be deported to Jordan despite his fears of torture, a top appeal court said on Wednesday, AFP reported.

The Home Office won an appeal to the Law Lords against a court ruling preventing Qatada's deportation to Jordan, where he has been convicted on terrorism charges.
