Ministers have changed a controversial early release scheme after admitting two terrorism convicts were let out of jail early to ease prison overcrowding.
The justice ministry said that people convicted under terrorism laws would no longer be eligible for early release.
Yassin Nassari left Wakefield Prison in February after being jailed last summer for three and a half years.
The BBC understands the second man was Abdul Muneem Patel, released from Glen Parva prison on 7 January this year.
Nassari, 28, from Ealing in west London, was arrested in May 2006 at Luton Airport carrying what police said were blueprints for a rocket in his luggage. He was convicted in July 2007 of having articles of use to terrorists.
Whats going on here? This is Gov is a load of ****. I think in this country we need a system like America.
