Italy’s highest court today upheld the extradition to Britain of a suspect in the failed July 21 London bombing who was arrested in Rome, a lawyer said.

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.
