Israeli hacker Ehud Tenenbaum will be extradited to the United States despite his previous requests to be tried in 
Canada, where he was arrested, Canadian media reported over the weekend.
Tenenbaum, who was dubbed "the analyzer" after it was discovered that he was the mastermind behind the hacking of the 
Pentagon computer systems in the late 1990s, has been in Canadian custody since August 2008, when he and three Canadian 
accomplices were arrested for hacking into the computers of Canadian company 'Direct Cash' and stealing CDN$1.8 million.
