UK Terror Suspect Babar Ahmad Awaits US Extradition Ruling
Babar Ahmad is a terrorism suspect wanted by the US for allegedly running websites that raised money for terrorists.
In 2004, Babar Ahmad was arrested in Britain on a US extradition warrant and he’s been in a UK jail ever since.
Next week the European Court of Human Rights is expected to decide if Ahmad can be extradited to the US. Anchor Marco Werman speaks with the BBC’s Dominic Casciani, who interviewed Babar Ahmad in prison.
