Home Office officials are set to make arrangements to extradite a British mentally-ill terror suspect wanted in the United States in the wake of a High Court ruling.

Two judges have given Home Secretary Theresa May the go-ahead to send Haroon Aswat - who is wanted for allegedly conspiring with convicted terrorist Abu Hamza to establish a jihadi training camp in Oregon - to New York for trial.

Hamza, who is in his 50s, was extradited from Britain to America nearly two years ago and found guilty of terrorism charges in May after a trial in New York.

He has yet to be sentenced.

Home Office officials said Aswat's case could yet be heard by the Supreme Court.

But they said extradition arrangements would be made - subject to any Supreme Court appeal by Aswat's legal team.

Earlier this year, Mrs May had been told to put extradition plans on hold after judges, who heard that Aswat suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, said they wanted assurances from the United States government about the way he would be cared for.

But two judges said they were satisfied with assurances given by American officials, following a High Court hearing in London today.

And Lord Thomas, the Lord Chief Justice - and Mr Justice Mitting - said Aswat could be extradited.

Judges had been told Aswat - who comes from Batley, West Yorkshire, and is thought to be in his late 30s - had been transferred from a prison to a psychiatric hospital in Britain.

Aswat's lawyers had argued that he might suffer a relapse if held in an American jail pending any trial.

And, at a High Court hearing in April, judges had said they wanted assurances about the way he would be treated.

"We are pleased the court has upheld the Home Secretary's decision to extradite Haroon Aswat to the United States," a Home Office spokesman said after today's hearing.

"The court agreed that the American authorities had provided sufficient assurances over the conditions in which Aswat would be held in the US."

He added: "Aswat's legal team has been given an opportunity to seek leave to appeal to the Supreme Court.

"Subject to any application, arrangements will now be made for his extradition
