 Germany's highest court overturned an extradition order against a suspected senior Al-Qaeda member, Mamoun Darkazanli, which would have seen him sent to Spain for trial. The constitutional court accepted a last-minute appeal by Darkazanli's lawyers after a lower court in Hamburg, northern Germany had ruled earlier that he could be handed over to Spain. Spanish anti-terrorist magistrate Baltasar Garzon indicted him in September last year along with some three dozen other suspects for their alleged connections to Al-Qaeda, and has requested his extradition under a new Europe-wide arrest warrant. |
