Britain ‘to extradite Paris bombings terror suspect’

Britain has agreed to extradite to France a suspected member of an extremist Islamic network behind the 1995 Paris Metro bombings, France’s Justice Ministry said tonight.

Rachid Ramda, suspected of being a member of Algeria’s Armed Islamic Group, is believed to have been a banker for a network that claimed responsibility for the 1995 bombings, which killed 11 people and injured more than 100.
