A police convoy has left a British prison for a military airfield to hand
over the radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza and four other suspects for extradition
to the United States to face terrorism charges. Earlier on Friday, after years
of legal wrangling, judges at the High Court in London said the five men could
be deported to America immediately. It follows a failed appeal to halt the
extradition on health grounds. Donny Sandwich reports.
Outside the Royal Court of Justice, about a hundred campaigners gathered
for the final chapter in its long-running legal saga. They held banners reading
‘freedom democracy hypocrisy’ and ‘Islam will prevail ’. But inside the court,
the judges clinically took apart the argument that Abu Hamza should be allowed
to stay in Britain. Lord Justice Thomas said he and Mr. Justice Owsley were
wholly unpersuaded that the cleric was unfit to plead his trial. He said Abu
Hamza could be treated in the United States for his mental health problems which
was said to include depression and memory loss.

Turkish military units have opened fire on Syrian military positions after
a mortar shell landed on the countryside in southern Turkey. The Syrian shell
landed near a town of InHatay province. There were no reports of casualties. On
Wednesday and Thursday Syrian military targets were hit by a Turkish artillery
after a Syrian mortar shell killed five people in the Turkish town of
Akcakale.
Syrian activists say the city of Homs has been subjected to its most severe
bombardment in five months. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said
aircraft and artillery targeted the neighborhood of Khaldiya, but said that
there was no confirmation on the number of casualties.
In the biggest demonstrations in Jordan for years, thousands of people have
marched through the capital Amman demanding political reform. Our correspondent
Wyre Davies was there.
As many as ten thousand people took to the streets of Amman today, mainly
supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic Action Front, but also other
leftist and opposition groups. Security outside the al-Husseini mosque in
[Amonzo] city was extremely tight. But everything passed off
remarkably,peacefully. There is simply no appetite here for the violence and
turmoil that has engulfed the region over the last two years. Nonetheless, the
large noisy crowds was openly critical of the king's promised political reforms
and demanded fundamental changes to a system they say is corrupt and loaded in
favor of the country's ruling elite .
The United Nations says the situation in western Burma remains tense

of people displaced by the clashes in Rakhine state was continuing to rise as
more villagers left their homes in search of food, healthcare and other
assistance.
