BRUSSELS, Oct. 13 (Xinhuanet) -- The district court in The Hague ruled on Wednesday that a 39-year-old Dutch man of Egyptian origid cannot be extradited to the United States, De Volkskrant newspaper reported Thursday.

    Justice Minister Piet Hein Donner had previously approved the extradition request.

    In the United States, the man faces charges of telecom fraud with the intention of facilitating telephone conversations between members of Al Qaeda.

    The man appealed against Donner's decision in July and the court decided in August that a guarantee had to be given that the man's fundamental rights would be respected in the United States and that he would not be charged with other offenses than telecom fraud.

    The court barred the extradition on Wednesday as it was not satisfied with response from the United States.

    The identity of the man was withheld in accordance with the Dutch privacy law. Enditem
