Last year he was cleared of conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to cause a public nuisance. Mr Sihali was sentenced to 15 months' imprisonment on a charge of using false identities, but was released because of the amount of time he had already served in custody.Mr Sihali told Radio 4's Today programme: "I am innocent, they showed the jury every single bit of information found in my home and they got the intelligence from the Algerian authorities. He arrived in Britain in 1997.He filed an application for asylum five years later, after being arrested by immigration officers.The subsequent investigation led to accusations of providing a safe house for terrorists. Will I be prosecuted? Will I be persecuted? That's what I fear."I want to clear my name before I even try to go, or think of going, back to my country.

I can't go back now; you are accusing me of suspicion of being involved in some kind of terrorism."Do you think my country will let me go? I don't think so."Mr Sihali fled Algeria after refusing to do a spell of national service. Mouloud Sihali was cleared last year of involvement in the so-called "ricin plot" to release deadly poison in the streets. He was one of three defendants who walked free in the case only to be served with notice four months later that they were to be expelled from Britain on national security grounds. The Government is trying to strike a deal with Algeria, which has long been accused of torturing prisoners, so that terrorist suspects returned there will not be harmed.But lawyers for Algerians being held for deportation have warned any such memorandum of understanding(MOU) would be worthless and their clients' lives would be jeopardised if they were returned to their home country.Mr Sihali, 29, said: I don't know what will happen to me if I go back to Algeria. An Algerian man threatened with deportation despite being cleared in court of terrorist links has spoken about fears he has for his safety if he is returned to his home country. It was estimated that it took this long for radioactive particles to decompose.* EVACUATION: It was doubted whether evacuation before fallout arrived would have been possible.. A well-built house would provide only 20 to 40 per cent protection as rays would penetrate roofs.* LENGTH OF TIME IN HIDING: BBC staff were told to stay in shelters for 14 days before it was safe to leave.

Cuts or bruises would become septic and colds would not get better. The only cure was careful nursing.* BUILDINGS: Full protection would be provided by two to three feet of earth or equivalent screening by bricks, concrete or sandbags. This issue was drawn to the attention of the Home Office and led to one minister observing: "An abrupt discontinuance of the television service in the preparatory period would have considerable effect on public morale and it would be desirable that the television service should continue, as far as possible, up to the outbreak of the war."1955: The BBC's scenario* THE KILLING ZONE: Staff living within a distance of about 30 miles downwind who escaped an initial blast would die from radiation effects.* RADIATION SICKNESS: Gamma rays would gradually destroy individuals' white corpuscles. [existing] BBC premises [outside of London]."Long before war was declared the BBC hoped to have dispersed 1,500 staff and artistes around the country.
