A German court approved the extradition of Mohammed Ali Hassan al-Moayad, a Yemeni cleric, and his assistant, Mohammed Mohsen Yahya Zayed, to face charges in the United States of supplying weapons, militants and millions of dollars in funding to the al-Qaida terrorist network.
The court approved the extradition of the two on condition the men not face the death penalty. The ruling needed final approval from the German government.
U.S. and German authorities say they learned in December 2001 that al-Moayad was involved in backing al-Qaida as well as the Palestinian Islamic militant group Hamas. Al-Moayad and his assistant were arrested on January 10, 2003 after being lured to a bugged Frankfurt hotel room to meet an informant posing as a wealthy American Muslim, the court papers said.
