A Muslim cleric suspected of links with Osama Bin Laden has been detained under UK anti-terror laws introduced after 11 September. London-based Abu Qatada, who is accused of being a senior figure in the Al-Qaeda terror network, is thought to have been arrested on Wednesday.

His arrest came as the Court of Appeal prepared to give its judgment on the legality of the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act - the legislation under which he is being held.
