An Algerian-born Irish citizen wanted by US authorities in connection with alleged terrorist offences and whom the High Court refused to extradite has been arrested in Spain.
Fifty-year-old Ali Charaf Damache was arrested in Barcelona on foot of an international alert, the Court of Appeal was told today.
The State is appealing the High Court decision not to extradite him to the US to face charges relating to the conspiracy to provide material support for terrorists and attempted identity theft to facilitate an act of international terrorism.
Mr Damache, with a last address in Ireland at High Street, Waterford, is due before a court in Madrid today.
