Italy approves extraditing London bombing suspect
www.chinaview.cn 2005-08-17 00:18:18

    LONDON, Aug. 17 (Xinhuanet) -- The extradition of London bombing suspect Hussein Osman from Italy to Britain has been approved by an Italian court, the Sky news reported on Wednesday.

    A judge in Rome agreed to the request from London for the extradition of the July 21 abortive bombing suspect and said he would be sent over within 35 days.

    Osman, 27, can still appeal the decision and would have to do so before the 35 days is up.

    His lawyers have ten days to present an appeal to the Court of Cassation, Italy's highest court. That court would then have 15 further days to make its ruling.

    His extradition was delayed for 35 days so that Italian investigators could finish their own inquiries into the suspect in connection with terrorism allegations.

    They also want to find out more about the nature of the devices found on July 21.

    The Ethiopian-born Briton is wanted in connection with the botched attempt to detonate a bomb at Shepherd's Bush Tube stationin west London.

    Osman, also known as Hamdi Issac, was seized in Rome a week after the failed attack.

    None of the four bombs intended to explode in London on July 21 managed to detonate. Enditem
