The European Court of Human Rights has given its final approval for the extradition of five major terrorism suspects from the UK to the US.
The court's highest judges said they would not re-open the cases of Abu Hamza al-Masri, Babar Ahmad and others.
The decision means that the extradition of the men, wanted for years by the US, is likely to happen within weeks.
The Home Office welcomed the decision, saying it would ensure the extraditions happened as quickly as possible.
The men had argued they would face inhumane treatment in the United States if they were sent there.
Abu Hamza is accused of planning a terror training camp in the US and assisting hostage-taking in Yemen.
The US says that Mr Ahmad and his co-accused, Syed Talha Ahsan, ran a jihadist website in London that provided material support for terrorism.
Adel Abdul Bary and Khaled al-Fawwaz are accused of being aides to Osama bin Laden in London.
