An Algerian who was cleared of any involvement in the supposed "Ricin plot" today lost his appeal against Home Office moves to deport him. The man, who can be identified only by the initial "Y", was ruled to be a danger to national security by the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (Siac). The crucial ruling - which will affect the government's ability to deport 15 other Algerian terror suspects - also indicated that the panel believed there had been improvements in the stability of the Algerian regime and a reduction in the number of allegations of torture. .
