Abu Hamza - Off to the good ol US of A.

The radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza has been refused permission to appeal to the House of Lords over a decision to extradite him to America on alleged terrorism charges.

The 49-year-old Egyptian born Muslim cleric, who is currently serving seven years in jail for soliciting murder and stirring up racial hatred, last month lost his High Court claim that extradition would be a breach of his human rights.

Sir Igor Judge, the President of the Queens Bench Division, dismissed an application by Hamza to challenge the High Court's decision.

**Hamza who has hooks instead of hands will be sadly missed by the Belmarsh panto group who's version of Hook is said to very good since Hamza arrived!
