Lawyers urge court to refuse client's extradition to US

Lawyers for a man wanted in the US on terrorism charges have told the High Court that a penalty may be imposed for uncharged conduct, if he is surrendered and found guilty in the US.

Ali Charaf Damache (aged 49), an Algerian-born Irish citizen, previously with an address in Waterford, is wanted by the US authorities in connection with an alleged conspiracy to provide support to terrorists.
