Ali Damache judicial review judgement due next week
Summary
A High Court judge has announced that he will issue a judgement on the judicial review application of Ali Charaf Damache, an Algerian-born Irish citizen aged 48, next week. Damache is facing extradition to the United States on international terrorism charges, including conspiracy to provide material support for terrorists and attempted identity theft. The US alleges that Damache, who used the username "the black flag," conspired with American woman Colleen LaRose (online name "Jihad Jane") and others to create a terror cell in Europe that could target US and western European citizens. He is also accused of participating in a conspiracy to transfer a passport stolen from a US citizen to an individual in Pakistan believed to be a member of Al Qaeda. Damache seeks judicial review to challenge the Director of Public Prosecutions' decision not to prosecute him in Ireland for these offences. The extradition case has been adjourned until after the judicial review judgement is returned.
