The Home Office
is to extradite web developer Babar Ahmad to the US to face trial on alleged
terrorism offences.
Ahmad, 31, a computer expert from Tooting in south London, is accused of
running websites that support terrorists and urging Muslims to fight a holy war.
He is currently being held in Woodhill Prison in Milton Keynes.
Ahmad's family is intending to appeal against the extradition order in the
High Court, claiming that there is no evidence against him and that he should be
tried in Britain, if at all.
"We have seen where the Americans have put forward allegations against an
individual and eventually when it's come to court the case has been thrown out,
" his family told the BBC.
The Muslim Council of
Britain said that it is "very disappointed" in the extradition ruling, and
feared that it could contribute to "further alienation" among Muslim youths.
