in London.
A British court is expected to rule on whether
extremist cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri is too ill to be extradited to the United States
to face terror charges. London's High Court is
set to decide Friday Oct. 5, 2012 whether al-Masri and other terror suspects
can be sent to the U.S. to
face charges that include helping set up a terrorist training camp in rural Oregon
Radical cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri, the man
authorities said tried to set up a terrorist training camp on American soil,
has arrived in the U.S. to stand trial after an eight-year delay.
Hamza and the four other suspects had put up
fierce legal opposition to extradition and had argued they had human rights
concerns about the conditions they would face in U.S. prisons. The U.S. government
first requested Hamza's extradition when he was picked up by British police in
2004.
