#2 Militant Wanted in U.S. Appears in British Court
LONDON (AP) - A suspected Islamic militant accused of organizing a terror training camp in Oregon appeared in a British court Monday after the U.S. requested his extradition. A judge ordered that Haroon Rashid Aswat, a 30-year-old British citizen, be held until Thursday, when the case will resume at a central London court.

Aswat appeared at the Bow Street Magistrates Court in a special sitting near southeast London's high-security Belmarsh prison a day after he was deported from Zambia, where he was detained in connection with the London bombings.
He faces questions about 20 phone calls reportedly made on his South African cell phone to some of the bombers responsible for the July 7 suicide attacks that killed 56 people, including the four bombers. But the extradition hearing was based on accusations he tried to set up a camp in Bly, Ore., in 1999-2000 to provide training in weapons, hand-to-hand combat and martial arts for people aiming to fight in Afghanistan.
Aswat's lawyer, Hossein Zahir, indicated his client would challenge the extradition. "He wishes to stress that he has nothing to hide," Zahir told the court. "He denies any suggestion that he's a terrorist or engaged in any terrorist activity." Zahir said his client was surprised the allegations were being made five years since the alleged incidents.
Aswat, who appeared in court wearing a black robe over a light brown shirt, spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and to say he would contest the extradition. Prosecutor Hugo Keith, representing the U.S. authorities, said Aswat flew to New York on Nov. 26, 1999, before taking a bus to Seattle in order to help set up the camp in nearby Oregon.
Keith told the court that Aswat had been sent to the United States by a prominent British-based Islamic cleric also wanted by the American authorities. Senior District Judge Timothy Workman barred journalists from identifying the cleric to avoid prejudicing a separate trial the cleric faces in Britain.

There's been much downplaying of purdymouth's involvement in the 7/7 & 21/7 attacks - wonder why. Hope we gets him first.
