Friday, October 15, 2004
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "LONDON — British authorities have decided to charge a radical Muslim cleric with terrorist offenses, pre-empting a bid from the United States to try him on similar charges, a British news agency reported Friday.
Press Association said British charges were likely to be filed next week against Abu Hamza al-Masri (search), who faces 11 charges in the United States."

It is believed UK forces could be sent from Basra, in southern Iraq, to an area south of Baghdad.
