Version 0 of 5.

The European Court of Human Rights has ruled a terrorism suspect should not be extradited from the UK to the US due to his mental health problems.

Haroon Aswat allegedly tried to establish a training camp in Oregon with the radical cleric Abu Hamza, who was extradited to the US last year.

But Mr Aswat said conditions in a 'supermax' jail could exacerbate his paranoid schizophrenia.

The Home Office has expressed disappointment at the court ruling.

Mr Aswat is being detained at Broadmoor high security psychiatric hospital.
