Gary McKinnon appeared in court in London on Wednesday, in the latest stage in a protracted legal process. His defence has argued that he should not be extradited as he could be tried under America's tough anti-terrorism laws.

This could see him sent to Guantanamo Bay and imprisoned for up to 60 years his defence team claimed.

The prosecution said McKinnon would only be tried in a Federal court and produced an unsigned note from the US Embassy, which they claimed was a guarantee that McKinnon would not be tried under Military Order Number One, which allows suspected terrorists to be tried under military law.
