  • He was the leader of the London branch of Egyptian Islamic Jihad,
    ... Ayman al-Zawahiri‘s outfit...
    which merged with Al Qaeda

  • His long legal battle meant he was sentenced in 2015 after 16 years on remand

  • A judge ruled last week he could be released early amid coronavirus fears

  • He had been serving his sentence in the ADX Florence supermax prison

  • Bary - who had struck a plea deal - is at risk because he is obese and has asthma

  • He is currently in a US immigration and customs enforcement detention facility

  • He cannot be placed under Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures because he has already served his sentence
