LONDON, Nov. 5 (UPI) -- A jailed extremist Muslim cleric Friday won an appeal to keep his British passport and delay extradition to the United States.
The Special Immigration Appeals Commission agreed that revoking the passport of Abu Hamza, former imam of the Finsbury Park mosque in London, would make him stateless since he had already been stripped of his Egyptian citizenship, The Guardian reported. The ruling puts more obstacles before U.S. authorities who want to try him on terrorism charges.
