Germany extradites Bosnian linked to Paris attacks to Belgium

(AFP) Germany on Monday extradited to Belgium a Bosnian man wanted in connection with the 2015 jihadist attacks in Paris, prosecutors said.

The unnamed 39-year-old suspected of having procured weapons for the attackers “was extradited this morning,” Naumburg prosecution service spokesman Klaus Tewes told AFP.

The synchronized shooting and suicide attacks by Islamic State gunmen in Paris on the Bataclan concert hall, national stadium and several cafes killed a total of 130 people.

German authorities had last month announced the man’s arrest on the night of June 19-20 on a European arrest warrant issued by the Belgian authorities.
