Haroon Aswat ( right ) , from Dewsbury , West Yorkshire , has pleaded guilty in New York to plotting to set up a terrorist training camp in the US with hook-handed extremist Abu Hamza ( left ) Hamza , 56 , previously of North London , was jailed for life in January for supporting terrorist organisations . Aswat , who is thought to be 40 , was arrested in 2005 in Zambia and later flown to the UK . He fought extradition for several years and was held at Broadmoor Hospital before being sent to the US last October . In January the European Court of Human Rights dismissed a case he brought against the British Government arguing that his extradition rested on inadequate assurances from US officials about his treatment . His lawyers claimed that it had breached Article 3 ( prohibition of inhuman or degrading treatment ) of the European Convention on Human Rights ( ECHR ) . Prosecutors say Aswat ( background ) and Hamza conspired to create a terrorist training camp in Bly , Oregon , 15 years ago . In their ruling at the time , ECHR judges said : 'In light of the specific assurances and additional information received from the United States government , and the careful examination of the case by the High Court in the United Kingdom , the court found that it could not be said that there was a real risk that Mr Aswat would be subjected to treatment contrary to Article 3 if extradited . 'The Court therefore considered his complaint to be manifestly ill-founded pursuant to Article 35 of the Convention and declared the application inadmissible . ' Aswat 's lawyers told the court yesterday that he has been treated for mental illness . He will be sentenced on July 31 .
