From Times Wire Reports
A court blocked the extradition of a Dutch terrorism suspect to the United States, saying his legal rights in U.S. custody could not be guaranteed.
The man, who is of Egyptian descent, identified only as M.A., is wanted on charges of fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud, apparently to help Al Qaeda.
The Hague District Court had sought guarantees that he would have access to a lawyer. It said it rejected a U.S. response that the request was “unwarranted and unnecessary.”
