Probe 'might delay' extradition of London bombing suspect

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.

Antonietta Sonnessa, defence lawyer for Hamdi Issac, said that “Italian authorities believe there is evidence against him also on the Italian territory,” and that the evidence was “such that he should be held in Italy".
