The alleged ringleader of an al-Qaida bomb plot and another man regarded as a serious danger to national security can’t be deported to their native Pakistan because they risk being tortured in their homeland, a British court ruled Tuesday.
The Special Immigration Appeals Commission said Abid Naseer, 24, and Ahmed Faraz Khan, 26, can’t be forcibly removed to Pakistan, because of the likelihood they would be mistreated. Judge John Mitting and two colleagues made the ruling despite labeling Naseer an al-Qaida operative and suggesting Khan was “willing to participate” in a terror attack.
