A French terror suspect arrested in weekend raids in the Dutch port city of Rotterdam is fighting his extradition to France, Dutch prosecutors said Tuesday, reports Yahoo! News.
The 32-year-old, identified by Dutch media only as Anis B., will remain in custody in the Netherlands, where a court has to decide within 90 days whether to grant a request from Paris to extradite him, the Amsterdam prosecutor said in a statement.
The man is wanted by France for "involvement in a criminal organisation linked to a terrorist enterprise," the prosecutor said.
He was arrested on Sunday at Paris's request suspected of receiving orders from the Islamic State group to attack targets in France.
He appeared before an Amsterdam court on Tuesday and was remanded in custody. The court also ruled he could only have contact with his lawyers and not with other people.
He must appear again this time in a public hearing within 60 days. But no date has been set for that.
France had sought Anis B.'s arrest after French police there said they had thwarted an attack by a man called Reda Kriket, 34, who was caught on Thursday.
