| Britain: Abu Hamza cleared for extradition to the US, court rules |
| 2007-11-15 |
| The radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza can be extradited to the US to face terror charges, a court has ruled. London's City of Westminster Magistrates Court ruled that Abu Hamza al-Masri can now be tried in the US for allegedly trying to set up an al-Qa'eda training camp in Oregon. He is wanted by US authorities on a total of 11 charges. Following the court ruling, the extradition can go ahead provided it gets the approval of Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary. Egyptian-born Hamza, 49, who is fitted with hooks on both partially-amputated arms, is currently serving a seven-year jail term for inciting followers to murder non-believers. He was arrested on an extradition warrant issued by the US administration in May 2004 but the process was put on hold when he stood trial in Britain and attempted to appeal against his convictions. A decision by the House of Lords in January this year to refuse him leave to make a further appeal against his convictions left the path clear for extradition proceedings. |

| #2 The US prison system will treat him to nicely. Bacon for breakfast, ham for lunch, and pork chops for dinner every night. |
