The dossier said the Jordanian-born Palestinian, who was granted asylum in Britain in 1994, "has been in direct contact with members and supporters of terrorist cells and networks".
"His preachings are known to be an inspiration for a number of individuals involved in terrorist attacks," it said.
"Eighteen video tapes of Abu Qatada's sermons were found in a Hamburg flat used by three of the men alleged to have hijacked the planes that crashed into the World Trade Centre, including the leader of the group, Mohammed Atta."
The document also said Mr Qatada also gave "spiritual advice and encouragement to those involved in terrorist plots in Strasbourg and Paris".
"The evidence is clear Abu Qatada supports the overthrowing by violent means of some current governments of Arab countries and their replacement with Islamic states," it stated.

"associates of Zacarias Moussaoui, the would-be pilot arrested in Minnesota a month before the September 11 attacks, told CNN he was also impressed with Qatada and probably had gone to hear Qatada preach at a London community centre."
"The UK government was particularly embarrassed by claims that up to 15 of the September 11 hijackers moved through London on their deadly mission."
