UK home secretary David Blunkett stopped the extradition of an Algerian accused of terrorism.
Abdelghani Ait Haddad, who had been incarcerated as a high security risk in Belmarsh prison, south-east London, for more than three months, was released after the home secretary decided there was no reliable evidence.
Haddad is wanted by the Algerian authorites in connection with a bombing at Algiers airport in 1992 which killed nine people. He was sentenced to death in his absence the following year.
The evidence against him, only recently brought to Blunkett's attention, consisted solely of claims made by another Algerian, Hossein Abderrahim, who was tortured during interrogation before he was executed in 1993.
