Ali Damache judicial review judgement adjourned
Summary
A High Court judge in Ireland has postponed delivering a judgment on a judicial review application filed by Ali Charaf Damache, an Algerian-born Irish citizen aged 48, who is facing extradition to the United States on international terrorism charges. Damache is accused of conspiring with American woman Colleen LaRose, known online as "Jihad Jane," and others to establish a terror cell in Europe that could target U.S. and Western European citizens. He is also alleged to have participated in a conspiracy to transfer a passport stolen from a U.S. citizen to a person in Pakistan believed to be an Al Qaeda member. Damache seeks judicial review to challenge the Director of Public Prosecutions' decision not to prosecute him in Ireland. The extradition case has been adjourned until after the judicial review judgment is returned.
