Home Secretary Theresa May bound for Jordan over Qatada

Home Secretary Theresa May is to travel to Jordan in an effort to strike a deal over the deportation of Abu Qatada.

The radical preacher was released from a UK jail under strict bail conditions earlier this week.

In a statement, Mrs May said she intended to continue talks which Home Office minister James Brokenshire held earlier with Jordanian authorities.

She said the UK and Jordan were "pursuing all options with regards to his deportation".
