British man with Asperger syndrome can be extradited to US over hacking charges

An autistic man accused of hacking into US government computers can be extradited to the US from Britain to stand trial, a judge has ruled.

Lauri Love, who has Asperger syndrome, is alleged to have stolen huge amounts of data from US agencies including the Federal Reserve, the US Army, the Department of Defence, Nasa and the FBI, in a spate of online attacks in 2012 and 2013.
