Updated on 12 November 2009

An influential committee of MPs has thrown its weight behind the campaign to stop computer hacker Gary McKinnon being extradited to the United States.

The Home Affairs Committee also called for a "comprehensive review" of the controversial treaty under which he could be sent for trial.

Mr McKinnon, 43, from Wood Green, north London, admits hacking in to secret Pentagon military networks but claims he was only looking for evidence of reports of UFO sightings.
