UK to change its law on foreign terrorists
Eleven foreign terror suspects held without trial for three years under controversial emergency legislation in the UK are to be released without charge.
The Independent reports the move follows a historic House of Lords ruling last month that found the British Government in breach of fundamental human rights laws. That judgment sparked a constitutional crisis, leading to calls for a rethink on Britain\'s response to the September 11 attacks. Under the proposals, the 11 men accused of links with al-Qaeda terror groups are expected to face tough restrictions on their movements. Some could be deported. The emergency terror legislation rushed through in the aftermath of September 11 is expected to be replaced with tough new powers allowing judges to grant anti-terrorist behaviour orders on British and foreign terror suspects.
