Osama bin Laden pal Adel Abdel Bary to cost taxpayer £400,000 after return to UK

It could cost £400,000 a year to monitor Osama bin Laden’s former spin doctor. Counter-terror police and MI5 will have to keep tabs on Adel Abdel Bary as he settles back in the UK after being freed in the US.

Officials were unable to block Bary’s return because he successfully sought asylum here in 1997. Bary, 60, was implicated in the 1998 bombings of US embassies in Tanzania and Kenya which killed 224.

They were masterminded by bin Laden, responsible for the 9/11 attacks in New York. An ex-military intelligence officer said: “They will want to know who he talks to, how does he communicate and what are his intentions. "This may cost three or four hundred thousand a year. "He may have to be monitored discreetly for several years.” The
