Feel good story of the day.

Via Daily Mail:

Radical cleric Abu Hamza has been sentenced to life in prison for a string of terrorism offences by a judge in New York.

British Governments spent a decade trying to extradite the preacher, 56, following allegations of his involvement in terrorist activities.

Hamza, previously of north London, was finally jailed today by district judge Katherine Forrest at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan courthouse in Manhattan, New York.

Last year a jury found him guilty of supporting terrorist organisations, including aiding the taking of hostages in Yemen and seeking to set up an al Qaida training camp in the United States.
