Radical Preacher Tries to Block His Extradition

A Islamic preacher accused of trying to establish a terrorist training camp in Oregon asked a British court on Wednesday to block his extradition to the United States. Britain's Home Office has approved the extradition of Abu Hamza al-Masri, who once led London's Finsbury Park Mosque. British officials say the mosque has attracted extremists. Its worshippers have included Sept. 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui and "shoe bomber" Richard Reid. British courts should be allowed to examine the evidence in the U.S. case against her client before an extradition, al-Masri's lawyer said.
