ROME, Sept. 13 (Xinhuanet) -- Italy's highest court on Tuesday upheld a previous ruling that Hamdi Issac, who has confessed to taking part in the failed July 21 London bombings, be extradited to Britain.

    Paolo Iorio, who represented British authorities in the case, said that the judges had rejected Issac's appeal "in its entirety" and ordered Issac to be handed over to Scotland Yard within ten days.

    The defendant's lawyer, Antonietta Sonnessa, argued that Britain's extradition request was incomplete and her client was unlikely to have a fair trial in London.

    The 27-year-old British citizen, who was arrested in Rome on July 29, is expected to stand trial in London on November 11, along with four others arrested for the July 21 incidents.

    Issac, who has been in Rome's Rebibbia jail since his arrest, is believed to be responsible for an attempted bombing at the Shepherd's Bush underground station.

    He said he was aware that the backpack, given by another of thebombers, who acted as the group leader in the action, contained explosives and nails.

    According to evidence presented in the first extradition hearing, the rucksacks used in the attacks contained gunpowder, corn flour and two homemade explosives.

    The Ethiopian-born Issac, who is also known as Osman Hussain, was arrested on July 29 in Rome, at the home of his brother who runs an Ethiopian clothing shop in the capital.

    Italian investigators have initially seen Issac's emergence in Rome as a sign of terrorist network in Italy and potential danger of terrorist attacks here. Enditem
