Via Arutz 7:
Norway is unlikely to extradite a citizen suspected of links to a 1982 attack on a Jewish restaurant in Paris after France issued an arrest warrant for him, an official said Thursday, according to the AFP news agency.
Walid Abdulrahman Abu Zayed, alias "Souhail Othman", who has lived Norway since 1991, was one of three suspects on a French international warrant issued two weeks ago.
His wife angrily denied the charges against him, and an official with the Norwegian Prosecuting Authority said that as he was now a citizen, he could not be extradited.
"There is no legal basis in Norway for expelling a Norwegian citizen to France or any other country," the official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
He also said Norway was unlikely to arrest the suspect because a 2013 law exempting "serious acts of terrorism" from a 25-year statute of limitations cannot be applied retroactively.
