Abu Hamza's extradition to US put off

September 26, 2012 19:32

Convicted radical Islamic cleric Abu Hamza got a last-minute reprieve today when a high court judge issued interim injunctions preventing his extradition to the United States until the case is heard in court.

Earlier in the day, Hamza had launched the appeal in the High Court against his extradition to the US, two days after a European court ruled he could be handed over to Washington on terrorism charges. The injunction now temporarily prevents the extradition of Abu Hamza and another suspect, Khaled Al-Fawwaz.
