Now 74, Ms Stewart had been helping Egyptian cleric Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman communicate, from his prison cell, with the so-called Islamic Group, an organisation which had been listed as a terrorist entity by the US authorities. Ms Stewart is said to have 18 months to live, at the maximum. Her lawyer, Jill Shellow, said: 'My client and I are overjoyed that she will be able to spend her remaining days with her family. It restores my faith in the Department of Justice to do the right thing.' Source: Reuters
