Gary McKinnon, 39, left, is accused of installing software allowing him to control military computers, including the Army's network for Washington. Lawyers for McKinnon, who was first arrested in the case nearly three years ago and then released, said he would fight extradition. It was not clear why U.S. officials took so long to seek extradition.

McKinnon, who is contesting extradition to the U.S, was granted bail but was unable to meet the Magistrate's demands.
