The European rights court Wednesday cleared the way for Britain's bid to extradite Islamist cleric Abu Qatada to Jordan after a six-year battle by refusing an appeal from his lawyer.

A panel of judges dismissed the last-minute defence request lodged last month for a full Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights hearing in the wake of a court ruling in January.
