Ali Damache refused leave for judicial review
Summary
In a High Court hearing on 27 January 2014, Mr Justice John Edwards refused Ali Charaf Damache, 48, an Algerian-born Irish citizen, leave to seek judicial review of the Director of Public Prosecutions' decision not to prosecute him in Ireland. Damache is facing extradition to the United States on international terrorism charges, including conspiracy to provide material support for terrorists and attempted identity theft to facilitate an act of international terrorism. The U.S. alleges that Damache conspired with American woman Colleen LaRose, known online as "Jihad Jane," and others to create a terror cell in Europe capable of targeting U.S. and Western European citizens. Damache, who used the username "the black flag," is also alleged to have participated in a conspiracy to transfer a passport stolen from a U.S. citizen to an individual in Pakistan believed to be a member of Al Qaeda.
