La Belle France requested Hamyd’s extradition on July 29, accusing him of "conspiring to prepare of acts of terrorism." If he is found guilty of the terror charges by a French court, he could face up to 10 years in prison.
Two Men Wounded in French Migrant Camp Shooting
[AnNahar] Two migrants were wounded in a shooting after a row in a migrant camp in the northern French port of Dunkirk, several sources said Tuesday. A 30-year-old Iraqi migrant received a gunshot wound in the groin area and a 25-year-old man whose nationality was unknown was wounded in the side in the incident in the Grande-Synthe camp on Monday, a police source said. Both men required hospital treatment but neither had life-threatening injuries.
"A police investigation is under way to establish the precise circumstances of this row and who fired the gun," a spokesman for the local authorities said.
The shooting followed an incident in which two migrants suffered minor knife wounds in the camp on Sunday.
The Grande-Synthe camp was built by the Medecins sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) charity and the local authorities in accordance with international humanitarian norms and currently holds nearly 800 people.
Charities and migrants' associations say pressure is building at the nearby "Jungle" camp in Calais, after what they say is an influx into the camp in the summer months. Some groups believe 9,000 people are now crammed into the Jungle, which is a largely makeshift camp although 1,750 residents are housed in more permanent accommodation created from shipping containers. Local authorities are due to carry out a new head count this month but for now are sticking to the figure of around 4,500 from a survey in mid-June.
French authorities have made repeated efforts to shut down the Jungle.
Thousands of migrants and refugees gather in Calais and other ports on France's northern coast, hoping to smuggle themselves aboard lorries that are crossing the Channel to Britain either through the Eurotunnel or on board ferries.
German Police Arrest Munich Gunman's 'Weapons Supplier'
[AnNahar] German police Tuesday arrested a man believed to have supplied a gun and bullets used by a teenage gunman to kill nine people in a rampage at a Munich shopping center, prosecutors said.
Police had began tracking the 31-year-old German suspect while investigating two cases of illegal arms transactions that were unrelated to the Munich gunman, David Ali Sonboly. Sonboly killed himself after his murderous spree on July 22 with the pistol he had bought on the internet.
After establishing the suspect's transaction procedure through the internet and encrypted emails, investigators set up a fake deal for the purchase of a machine gun, pistol and ammunition.
During the process, the unnamed "suspected weapons dealer" said that he had supplied the Glock 17 pistol and ammunition to the Munich assault gunman, prosecutors said in a statement.
"The 31-year-old man was arrested as he was handing over a shotgun" in the set up, police said.
