A UK court ruled on Thursday that Abu Hamza al-Masri, the radical Muslim cleric, could be extradited to the US to face terrorism-related and race-hate charges.

The Egyptian-born cleric, who worked as a bouncer in a London club to fund his university studies when he moved to Britain in the 1980s, is currently serving a seven-year jail term in the UK for inciting his followers to murder non-Muslims.
