LONDON, Aug. 24 (Xinhuanet) -- British Home Secretary Charles Clarke published new measures on Wednesday to rid the country of radical Muslim clerics who could inspire attacks like the London bombings.

    Clarke published a list of "unacceptable behaviors" that would prompt immediate action -- deportation or a ban on entry.

    "The terrorist threat facing the UK (United Kingdom) remains real and significant. It is right that the government and law enforcement agencies do everything possible to counter it," said Clarke in a statement.

    "That includes tackling those who seek to foster hatred or promote terrorism, sending a strong message that they are not welcome in the UK," he added.

    The new measures come following a period of consultation which started earlier this month.

    The type of conduct to be outlawed includes inflammatory preaching and publishing views which foster hatred or foment terrorism.

    Earlier this month, the Home Office announced it had detained 10 people and pledged to deport them.

    Among those held was Abu Qatad, a Jordanian national and the alleged spiritual leader of al-Qaida in Europe.

    Hardline Muslim cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed, who fled to Lebanon after the July 21 bombings, has already been barred from returning to Britain.

    He caused an uproar when he said he would not inform police if he knew Muslims were planning an attack in the UK.

    Prime Minister Tony Blair said that, if necessary, he would override human rights laws to deport foreign nationals. Enditem
