A High Court judge has sparked outrage after wishing 'all the best' to the convicted terrorist behind the 7/7 London bombings as he prepares to be released back into the community.
Sir Robert Jay made the comments during a hearing involving Haroon Aswat, 50, who is due to leave a psychiatric hospital and return to live with family in Batley, West Yorkshire.
Aswat, an al-Qaeda extremist, has admitted his role in the 2005 attack that left 52 dead, and even claimed he helped mastermind the 9/11 atrocity in the US.
Despite this, and despite warnings from counter-terror police, he is expected to walk free without any GPS monitoring or ankle tag because of a legal loophole that prevents surveillance of psychiatric patients.
The judge's remarks during the hearing at London's Royal Courts of Justice, revealed in a court transcript obtained by The Sun, clearly state that Sir Robert wishes him 'all the best'.
