Terror suspect wanted in US wins Irish case, walks free

May 22, 2015 08:23

An Algerian-born terror suspect wanted in the United States walked free from a Dublin court after five years behind bars and a two-year legal battle against extradition.

US authorities had sought to convict Ali Charaf Damache, 50, on two counts of conspiring to develop a European terror cell and to aid Pakistan-based terrorists.

He had been held without bail in Ireland since March 2010 but walked free from Dublin High Court yesterday after Justice Aileen Donnelly delivered a 333-page judgement that criticised Irish prosecutors and potentially cruel US prison conditions.
