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.

    Nearly 8 years without trial is an embarassment to the British Government. This man should have been put on trial years ago. It is a complete sham that the evidence against him was never looked at properly by the UK prosecuting autorities and simply handed over to the US. Looking forward to this interview tonight
