Abu Hamza loses extradition battle

Radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza and terror suspect Babar Ahmad will be extradited to the United States after Europe's human rights judges rejected a request for an appeal, officials said.

Hamza's request for an appeal over a European Court of Human Rights ruling that his extradition would not breach his human rights was rejected by a panel of judges tonight, a spokesman for the court said.
