Accused Paris Synagogue bomber faces Canada extradition
A Canadian court is set to announce Monday its decision on whether or not to allow the extradition of accused Paris synagogue bomber Hassan Diab to France to face prosecution. The Canadian-Lebanese national was arrested in a suburb of Canada's capital at the request of French authorities in November 2008 for his alleged role in a 1980 Paris bombing that killed three Frenchmen and a young Israeli woman, and injured dozens.
French prosecutors want him extradited to face charges of murder, attempted murder and willful destruction of property. Speaking through his lawyer at the start of his extradition hearing in November 2010 Diab said the evidence presented against him by French authorities relied on "secret, un-sourced intelligence."
