Abu Hamza faces extradition to US Muslim cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri faces extradition to the United States on terror charges. The Egyptian-born preacher is currently serving a seven-year jail term in the UK for inciting murder and race hate.
The 49-year-old from west London is wanted by the American authorities on 11 charges. City of Westminster Magistrates Court approved the extradition in November and the decision has now been ratified by Home Secretary Jacqui Smith. Terrorism allegations Ms Smith has signed an extradition order which Abu Hamza has 14 days to appeal against. If there is no successful appeal he will be handed over to the American authorities within 28 days. The US government wants to put Abu Hamza on trial over allegations that he funded terrorism, organised a "terrorist training camp" in Oregon between 1998 and 2000, and conspired to take 12 Westerners hostage in Yemen in 1998. The American charges carry a potential jail sentence of 100 years. Abu Hamza's lawyers claim US evidence has been gained through torture. Abu Hamza was convicted in February 2006 of 11 of the 15 charges he faced in the UK. He became well known as the imam of Finsbury Park mosque in north London but was dismissed from his position in 2003 after making speeches supporting al-Qaeda and criticising the invasion of Iraq.
