A suspect in the failed July 21 London transport attacks will likely be extradited from Italy to Britain next week, his defence lawyer said today.

A suspect in the failed London bombings of July 21 arrested in Rome will appeal an Italian court’s extradition ruling this week, his lawyer said.

An Italian court has approved the extradition of Hamdi Issac, a suspect sought by Britain for his alleged role in the July 21 failed bombings on London’s transport system.

An Italian prosecutor says he is seeking a delay of any decision on the extradition of suspected London bomber Hamdi Issac to Britain, saying on the opening day of the hearing that he wanted to see further documents in the case.

An extradition hearing for suspected London bomber Hamdi Issac has opened as British authorities seek the man for his alleged role in a botched attack at the Shepherd’s Bush underground station.

The extradition of a suspect sought by British authorities for the botched July 21 bombings in London is likely to take weeks, an Italian prosecutor said today.

Investigations in Italy could delay the extradition of a suspect sought by British authorities for the failed London bombings on July 21 and arrested in Rome last week, the suspect’s defence lawyer said today.

ITALIAN police described in detail yesterday how they monitored a London bombing suspect’s mobile phone calls before arresting him in Rome and said his extradition to Britain would not take long.

London bombing suspect Hussain Osman, also known as Hamdi Issac, arrested in Rome last week, has been charged under Italy’s anti-terrorism laws, his lawyer said today.
