U.K. to extradite terror suspect to U.S.
LONDON (AP) — Britain's Home Office on Thursday approved the extradition of Islamic preacher Abu Hamza al-Masri to the United States to face terrorism charges, officials said.Al-Masri, 49, has been charged in the U.S. with trying to establish a terrorist training camp in the northwestern state of Oregon,
conspiring to take hostages in Yemen and facilitating terrorist training in Afghanistan.
He has already been sentenced to seven years' imprisonment in Britain for fomenting racial hatred and urging his followers to kill non-Muslims.
Al-Masri was arrested on a U.S. extradition warrant in May 2004, but the process was put on hold while he stood trial in Britain and then appealed his convictions.
"The Home Secretary today has signed an order approving the extradition," a Home Office spokesman said, speaking on condition of anonymity, which is in line with department policy.
The Jews are really putting the screws to him. Another brother, to be railroaded by the U.S. 'Justice' system. This is getting to be very routine.
It's like the Israeli-proxy criminal governments worldwide, they just shuffle around people they don't like to the place where they will get the worst conviction and longest prison sentence possible.
