Extradition upheld for London bombings suspect

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.

The decision by the Court of Cassation cannot be appealed.

Suspect Hamdi Issac, also known as Osman Hussain, is expected to be transferred to Britain within the next 10 days, said Paolo Iorio, a lawyer representing the British government in the case.
