A French court on Thursday ordered a man accused of carrying out a deadly shooting at the Jewish Museum in Brussels in May to be extradited to Belgium, reports FRANCE 24.
The court in Versailles, west of Paris, said Franco-Algerian Mehdi Nemmouche, 29, who was detained several days after the May 24 attack, should be handed over to Belgian authorities for "killings with a terrorist connotation".
The decision was in line with a European warrant issued for Nemmouche's arrest.
The suspect had initially said he was not opposed to his transfer to Belgium as long as he had assurances he would not be sent on to a third country, but then decided to contest the extradition.
Four people – an Israeli couple, a French woman and Belgian man – were killed in the shooting.
