Radical Cleric Hamza Can Be Extradited To US
Sky News ^ | 24th September 2012 | Sky News

'Radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza can be extradited to the US after Europe's human rights judges rejected his request for an appeal, officials have said.

Hamza wanted to fight a European Court of Human Rights ruling that extradition would not breach his human rights.

But his request was rejected by a panel of judges, a spokesman for the court said.

The unanimous judgment said there would be no human rights breach either as a result of likely detention in ADX Florence "supermax" prison in Colorado, or the length of possible sentences on conviction.

The decision means Hamza, who was jailed for seven years for soliciting to murder and inciting racial hatred, can now be extradited with four others, including terror suspect Babar Ahmad.

Computer expert Ahmad has been held in a UK prison without trial for eight years after being accused of raising funds for terrorism.

The request for an appeal delayed a total of five cases related to the same judgment. The other cases involve Seyla Talha Ahsan, Adel Abdul Bary and Khaled al Fawwaz.

The five are likely to be put on a plane to the US within two or three weeks, it is understood.

A Home Office spokesman said: "The Home Secretary welcomes today's decision not to refer the cases of Abu Hamza and four others to the Grand Chamber.

"This follows the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights on April 10 to allow the extradition of these five terrorism suspects to the US.

"We will work to ensure that the individuals are handed over to the US authorities as quickly as possible."'

The one thing Hamza won’t get in an American jail is his goat or sheep, so conjugal visits are out.

Baaaaa!

If the IDF were still in Ghaza, they could extradite him there and give him Gilad Shalit’s old cell.

I think a herd of sheep would like to talk to him. Something about payback.

Just remind NOW that the Obama Administration let child rapist Roman Polanski go free. The Democrat War on Women continues.

Extradition on when politically convenient.

We have terrorists in our hands that have not been prosecuted (the 9-11 plotter and the Ft. Hood shooter).
