Accused hacker Gary McKinnon has lost a crucial battle in his fight to avoid prosecution in the United States after a British judge ordered his extradition to America.
Gary McKinnon, the Briton who has admitted hacking into NASA systems, is due to fight his extradition to the US in the House of Lords on Monday.
