Tonight, judges also threw out this bid. There are now no more legal steps the men can take in Europe to halt extradition. Whitehall officials said he would be put on a plane to America as soon as possible.

Also facing extradition are Babar Ahmad and Talha Ahsan, who are accused of conspiracy to commit terrorist atrocities overseas and supporting terrorist groups, and Khalid al-Fawwaz, who is considered one of the U.Ss most wanted terrorists suspects. Al-Fawwaz, allegedly a close associate of Osama bin Laden, was arrested in connection with bomb attacks on two U.S embassies in east Africa which killed more than 260 people in 1998.

The fifth man who can be removed, Adel Abdul Bary, is also wanted in connection with the embassy bombings and has been held in prison for 13 years. The total bill for extraditing the men is estimated to be 4million.

Believe it when i see it

Long overdue. Good riddance

A radical Muslim cleric who served seven years in a British prison had used the cover of religion to hide his part in a global terror campaign, a prosecutor in New York has said. Opening statements in the trial of Abu Hamza al-Masri began on Thursday.

As part of their case, prosecutors plan to play jurors a series of recordings in which Abu Hamza can be heard praising Osama Bin Laden and castigating Jews, Christians and homosexuals.

Abu Hamza, who lost his hands and one eye in Afghanistan in the 1980s, rose to notoriety in the UK for preaching violent messages at the Finsbury Park mosque in London after 9/11. Could be an interesting trial. Exposing the dark underbelly of Islam

pity we cant watch that trial
