Deportation of IS accused to Jordan approved

The High Court has cleared the way for the deportation to Jordan of a man allegedly involved with Islamic terrorists.

The State alleges the man is the “foremost organiser and facilitator of travel by extremists prepared to undertake violent action” on behalf of Islamic State (IS) and its “main recruiter” in Ireland.

The man, who cannot be identified, denies claims he has consulted with senior violent extremist leaders outside Ireland, represents a threat to national security, or recruits members for Islamic extremist groups.
