2 terror suspects to appear in CT court

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — Officials say two of the five terror suspects extradited from Britain are scheduled to be in a Connecticut court to face charges.

The U.S. Attorney's office in Connecticut says Babar Ahmad and Syed Talha Ahsan are scheduled to be in U.S. District Court in New Haven early Saturday, just hours after arriving in the U.S. at about 2 a.m.

Ahmad and Ahsan, along with radical preacher Abu Hamza al-Masri (AH'-boo HAHM'-zuh ahl MAHZ'-ree) , Khaled al-Fawwaz and Adel Abdul Bary left the U.K. early Saturday after Britain's High Court ruled they had no more grounds for appeal in their yearslong battles to avoid facing charges in the U.S.

Officials with the U.S. Attorney's office in New York would not confirm the arrival of al-Masri and the other two men.
