Czech Republic will extradite suspected terrorist

A Prague court has ruled in favour of extraditing a Swedish national of Lebanese origin, who is suspected of assisting terrorists, to the United States. Oussama Kassir was detained at Prague's Ruzyne Airport on the grounds of an international arrest warrant last December. He was on a stop-over flight from Stockholm to Beirut. Kassir is suspected of having provided terrorists with financial assistance. He could face up to 15 years in jail in the US.
