Germany seeks extradition of Belfast man wanted in connection with 1996 IRA attack on Osnabruck

Summary

A 46‑year‑old Belfast man, James Anthony Oliver Albert Corry, appeared before the High Court in Dublin on the day of a European Arrest Warrant issued by German authorities. Corry was arrested in Killorglin, Co Kerry, at about 9 a.m. by Detective Sergeant Seán Fallon, who identified him and showed him the warrant. Corry confirmed his name, birth date (December 1968) and birthplace (Belfast) and admitted a tattoo of a 'J' on his right arm. The warrant seeks his extradition for terrorism‑type offences related to a 1996 Provisional IRA mortar attack on a British army barracks in Osnabruck, Germany, in which three mortar shells were fired. Justice Aileen Donnelly confirmed the identity of the person before the court and remanded Corry in custody until a bail application is expected on Tuesday. The State's counsel noted that a surety would be required if bail were granted.
