Indian police said Portugal's Supreme Court has cleared the extradition of one of India's most wanted men, Abu Salem, sought for a string of blasts that killed more than 250 people in 1993. "We were informed by the Indian mission in Portugal that the Supreme Court has granted India's request for extradition of Abu Salem for all the offences," G Mohanty, a spokesman for India's Central Bureau of Investigation, said. Salem and his girlfriend, little-known Indian actress Monica Bedi, were arrested in Lisbon in September 2002 on charges of document falsification.India has sought their extradition since they were arrested. Bedi, whose extradition was cleared by the Portuguese court last year, is wanted in India for forgery. Salem is believed to have helped orchestrate a wave of bombings in Bombay's commercial district in March 1993 that killed over 250 people and injured more than 1,000. As well as being wanted for the bombings, Salem is also sought in India in connection with more than 60 cases of murder, extortion and kidnapping that mainly targeted Bombay's film producers and stars. Salem, the subject of an international arrest warrant, has denied any involvement in the blasts or other wrongdoing. Portugal and India do not have an extradition treaty and the extradition case was complicated by a ban in the Portuguese constitution on deporting suspects to nations where they could face the death penalty.
