Cleric's extradition is halted by judge

A last-ditch legal move by radical cleric Abu Hamza to fight extradition to the US will be heard by the High Court next week.

Two judges in London will also consider a challenge by a second terror suspect, Khaled Al Fawwaz, on Tuesday.

The men are seeking injunctions preventing their removal from the UK.

Pending the hearing of their applications by Sir John Thomas, President of the Queen's Bench Division, and Mr Justice Ouseley, interim injunctions have been issued preventing their removal.
