Sheltering A Puppet Master?
BY BRUCE CRUMLEY/PARIS
As worldwide investigations into the mysteries of the Sept. 11 terror conspiracy roll
on, officials in Europe have pondered an enigma: Where is Abu Qatada? Described
by some justice officials as the spiritual leader and possible puppet master of al-
Qaeda's European networks, Abu Qatada has been missing since mid-December
after British authorities confiscated his passport, froze his assets and ordered him
confined to his London home. With Jordan seeking his return to serve a life sentence
for terror-related crimes, some observers figured Abu Qatada went
underground—and perhaps left Britain—to avoid extradition. But senior European
intelligence officials tell TIME that Abu Qatada is tucked away in a safe house in the
north of England, where he and his family are being lodged, fed and clothed by
British intelligence services. "The deal is that Abu Qatada is deprived of contact with
extremists in London and Europe but can't be arrested or expelled because no one
officially knows where he is," says the source, whose claims were corroborated by
French authorities. "The British win because the last thing they want is a hot potato
they can't extradite for fear of al-Qaeda reprisals but whose presence contradicts
London's support of the war on terror." British security services officials declined to
comment.
