Amman - The judiciary would ensure a "fair trail" for Omar Mahmoud Othman, better known as Abu Qatada, if British authorities went ahead with measures to deport him to his Jordanian homeland, Jordan's Justice Minister Ayman Odeh said Wednesday.

"Jordanian legislation currently in force ensures a fair trial for Abu Qatada if the British government decided to deport him," Odeh said in an interview with the official Petra news agency.
