Damache to bring second judicial review application
Summary
In February 2014, a High Court judge declined to recuse himself from hearing a second judicial review application filed by Ali Charaf Damache, a 48‑year‑old Algerian‑born Irish citizen. Damache is facing extradition to the United States on international terrorism charges, including conspiracy to provide material support for terrorists and attempted identity theft. U.S. authorities allege that he conspired with American woman Colleen LaRose, known online as "Jihad Jane," and others to create a terror cell in Europe that could target U.S. and Western U.S. citizens. They also claim he participated in a conspiracy to transfer a stolen U.S. passport to a Pakistani individual believed to be an Al Qaeda member. Damache's lawyers requested that Justice John Edwards recuse himself from the second review, arguing potential bias due to prior findings in the extradition case.
