A man facing prosecution for the murder of two soldiers has been extradited to Northern Ireland after handing himself in to gardaí.
John Downey is wanted by prosecutors in Northern Ireland over the alleged murders of two Ulster Defence Regiment soldiers in 1972.
He handed himself in today, after he lost an appeal to challenge the extradition in July this year.
He is due to be brought before Omagh Magistrates Court tomorrow morning.
Downey was arrested at his home in Co Donegal in October last year under a European Arrest Warrant after authorities in Northern Ireland determined they had sufficient evidence to charge him with the murders of Lance Corporal Alfred Johnston, 32, and Private James Eames, 33.
The soldiers died in a car bomb attack in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh, in August 1972.
