Abu Hamza: High Court judge halts extradition to the US
A High Court judge has halted the extradition of Abu Hamza al-Masri to the US on terror charges after the cleric launched a last-ditch appeal.
An injunction temporarily stops the removal of the radical cleric and another suspect from the UK and is the latest move in a long legal battle.
The European Court of Human Rights had earlier rejected attempts to block them being sent for trial in the US.
The pair will outline their appeals at a hearing next Tuesday and Wednesday.
