Gary McKinnon, a British computer hacker who has been fighting a
ten-year battle against extradition to the United States is set to learn
his fate. McKinnon was a Scottish systems administrator when he found
himself labeled as the biggest military computer hacker of all time by
the United States. He was accused of hacking into computers at the
Pentagon and NASA. The Home Secretary will tell parliament whether the
government accepts medical reports suggesting McKinnon, who suffers from
Aspergers and is on the Autism specturm, would be a risk to himself if
he was sent for trial in the US. Al Jazeera's Peter Sharp reports from
London.
