Extradition

I will give way shortly; let me finish going through the detail. To date, the prosecuting authorities have decided not to prosecute Mr Ahmad in the UK and in terms of the extradition request the courts in the United Kingdom have held that authorities in the United States have jurisdiction in relation to the offences of which Mr Ahmad is accused, and that they are entitled to seek his extradition. Mr Ahmad's case has been exhaustively considered by the UK courts and they have concluded that there are no bars to his extradition.
