    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.

    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 .

    more villagers left their homes in search of food, healthcare and other
    assistance.
