Abu Hamza's health has worsened, British court told

LONDON: The health of Abu Hamza has deteriorated, the High Court in London heard Tuesday, as he began a last-ditch legal bid to halt his extradition from Britain to the United States.

The Egyptian born cleric with a hook for a hand, and four other men were set to be sent to the United States after Europe's top rights court gave its green light last week, but are seeking to block their expulsion.
