US, Britain work to resolve hacker extradition
WASHINGTON — U.S. and British authorities are working to resolve the long-delayed extradition of a London hacker who allegedly infiltrated American military computers.
President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron say they discussed the case during their White House meeting Tuesday and intend to work together to find an appropriate solution.
Gary McKinnon allegedly broke into 97 computers belonging to NASA, the Department of Defense and several branches of the military soon after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. McKinnon says he was looking for evidence of UFOs.
