British seek to extradite Algerian over London bombings
 A man wanted in connection with July's London subway bombings has been charged with possessing false passports in Thailand. British authorities are trying to extradite the Algerian suspect after his arrest in Bangkok last week. Thai police say Atamnia Yachine had 180 counterfeit passports in his possession when he was arrested. They have charged him with possession of false documents and overstaying his visa. Published reports say Scotland Yard want the 33-year-old Algerian extradited to face charges in Britain for conspiring to make and distribute false passports and money laundering. Bangkok's The Nation newspaper reported that Yachine is wanted for supplying bogus travel documents to the terrorists behind the London attacks which killed 56 people. Three weeks ago a 35-year-old Briton of Algerian origin was arrested in Bangkok for trying to smuggle more than 450 forged European passports out of Thailand to Scotland. Posted by: Fred 2005-08-31 |
