Abu Qatada refused bail by judge
Radical cleric Abu Qatada will remain in prison until his deportation appeal is heard in October, a judge has ruled.
Mr Justice Mitting said allowing him to be on bail during heightened security at the 2012 Olympic Games would be "exceptionally problematic".
Abu Qatada is fighting deportation to Jordan, where he is accused of involvement in several bomb attacks.
The Home Office said Abu Qatada was "a dangerous man" and it was pleased with the court's ruling.
