Terrorist Manfo Asiedu Released and Deported

Manfo Asiedu, a terrorist involved in the failed 21/7 London bombings plot, has been released from prison after serving half of his 33-year sentence. Asiedu, 53, who entered the UK using a fake passport, was jailed in 2007 after admitting conspiracy to cause explosions, having purchased 443 liters of hydrogen peroxide intended for homemade bombs. His release has sparked outrage, particularly among Tory MPs, who deem it 'obscene' given the tragic context of the 7/7 bombings that occurred just weeks prior. Ex-minister Sir Alec Shelbrooke expressed disbelief that anyone attempting a terrorist act could be released early. Following his release, Asiedu was deported to Ghana at taxpayer expense, although it remains uncertain if this was part of a financial agreement under the Facilitated Returns Scheme. Four other conspirators from the plot received minimum sentences of 40 years for their roles in the attempted attacks.
