The list of Qatada's banned associates also includes bin Laden's deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri and Rachid Ramda, who has been convicted in France of masterminding a series of bombings in 1995.
Unusually, the document bans Qatada from attending "any mosque".
Qatada is also prevented from leading prayers, giving lectures or "providing religious instruction" to anyone except his wife and children.

Much obliged for the detail of the bail order.

So the security forces will have a person parked at his front and back door 24/7 to make sure that he doesn’t go out when he shouldn’t and banned people do not come to visit him, won’t they?

When he does go out legitimately surely there will be a surveillance team following him, to ensure that he adheres to the bail order, won’t there?

Of course there will have to be a tap on his phone so that ties up a few more people. Will anyone coming out be searched for letters from Abu? Will they be followed? And there will have to be a team monitoring his Internet activity.

All in all I can see this bail order costing a small fortune and just as importantly tying up many operatives who could be employed on other projects.
