| Abu Hamza launches last ditch bid to delay extradition |
| 2012-09-26 |
| The hate cleric has applied for an injunction against his removal just two days after losing his final appeal at the European Court of Human Rights. A second terror suspect, Khaled al-Fawaz, has also applied for an injunction against his extradition, the Judicial Communications Office confirmed. It is not known on what grounds the pair have launched their challenge although Whitehall sources have previously suggested Hamza may try and argue he is not fit to travel to America. He has a hook for a hand, you know... A judge is expected to consider whether the pair have a case to proceed with as a matter of urgency but no date has been set. Hamza, al-Fawaz and three other terror suspects, are expected to be extradited to the United States, where they face terror charges, within days after the European Court of Human Rights rejected their final appeal bid on Monday. |
