Radical preacher Abu Hamza al-Masri and four other terror suspects can be extradited immediately to the US to face charges there,UK High Court ruled on Friday.
The judges rejected last-ditch applications by al-Masri,Khaled al-Fawwaz,Babar Ahmad,Adel Abdul Bary and Syed Ahsan. Britain said it will act right away to remove them.
Hamza,who turned Londons Finsbury Park Mosque into a training ground for radical Islamists,is wanted in the US on charges that include helping set up a terrorist training camp in Oregon.
Hamza and the others applied for a last-minute halt,with al-Masris lawyers saying his deteriorating physical and mental health means it would be oppressive to send him to a US prison.
Hamza is wanted in the US on multiple terrorism-related charges.
