It's really been a bad day for Terrorist Bag Men all over the globe

It's really been a bad day for bag men all over the globe.

Check out the Algerians getting the boot from Scotland.

According to The Scotsman:

NINE suspected terrorists who were accused of funding al-Qaeda operations while seeking political asylum in Scotland are facing deportation, Scotland on Sunday can reveal.

The Algerians - four of whom were granted the right to stay earlier this year - are set to be expelled under the government's tough new anti-terror measures.

The men, who were arrested in Edinburgh in 2002 and early 2003, were suspected by police of raising money for terror cells across the UK and Europe. But lack of evidence meant charges were controversially dropped after a year-long investigation.

Security services and police tried immediately to deport the men but the move foundered because of Human Rights laws which prevent Britain from sending foreign nationals to countries accused of torture.

But, as a direct result of new plans unveiled by Tony Blair two weeks ago, a second attempt to deport the Algerians will now be made.
