Appeal of Madrid 'mastermind' in Italian courts
 Prosecutors have asked an Italian court to throw out an appeal by a suspect in the deadly train bombings in Madrid against his extradition to Spain for trial. The Court of Cassation was expected to rule later on Wednesday in the case of Rabei Osman Sayed Ahmed, otherwise known as "Mohammed the Egyptian," who was arrested on 8 June in Milan on a Spanish arrest warrant. He is fighting an extradition order made by the northern city's appeal court on 30 July. Madrid believes he is one of the brains behind the synchronised blasts which killed 191 people aboard commuter trains in the Spanish capital and wants to try him on charges of multiple homicide and possession of explosives.Posted by: Seafarious 2004-12-01 |
