Fanatic’s legal aid in bid for passport

Afghan Muslim is using legal aid to fight for their UK passport

A Muslim terror fanatic banned from Britain for being a threat to national security has been given legal aid in a bid to win a UK passport.

The extremist, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was stripped of British citizenship by Home Secretary Theresa May following evidence he had undergone terror training in Afghanistan.

The man, who also has Afghan nationality, launches an appeal against the ban today — funded by the taxpayer.

His case will be heard by the Special Immigration Appeals Commission in London. It comes after hate preacher Abu Qatada was finally kicked out of Britain.

Tory MP Douglas Carswell said: “Foreigners must think we are mad. We use taxpayers’ cash to allow people who want to defeat us on the battlefield fight us in our courts.”
