Home Secretary Jacqui Smith says an appeal will be lodged against a ruling preventing the deportation of radical Islamist cleric Abu Qatada from the UK.
Ms Smith said she was "disappointed" at the decision to grant him bail.
Abu Qatada, 47, was freed from Long Lartin Prison, in Worcestershire, on Tuesday after winning his fight against deportation to Jordan.
The Palestinian-Jordanian preacher will be subjected to a 22-hour home curfew and tight restrictions on his liberty.
Abu Qatada as been described as Osama Bin Laden's right-hand man in Europe.
