U.K. Extradites Terrorist Suspect Aswat to the U.S.

            On October 21, 2014, the United Kingdom government extradited to the United States Haroon Aswat, 40, who is accused of conspiring with Mostafa Kamel Mostafa, known as Abu Hamza al-Masri, of establishing a terrorist training camp in Bly, Oregon in 1999.  Last year, the European Court of Human Rights blocked Aswat’s extradition, ruling that his detention in the U.S. in a supermax prison could further harm his mental health.  He suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and has undergone treatment in a high-security psychiatric hospital since 2008.[1]
