Abu Hamza extradition: US court hears terror suspects

A police convoy believed to be carrying terror suspects leaves Long Lartin prison in central England, 5 October
Two terrorism suspects extradited from the UK to the US on the same day as Islamist cleric Abu Hamza have pleaded not guilty in a court in Connecticut.
Babar Ahmad and Talha Ahsan are both accused of conspiracy to support terrorists in Afghanistan and the Russian region of Chechnya.
The extradition of the three, along with two others, marked the end of a marathon court battle.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron said he was "sick" of people like Abu Hamza.
Mr Ahmad and Mr Ahsan were indicted in 2004 and 2006 respectively for allegedly using a website from a Connecticut-based internet service provider to raise money and recruit fighters.
