Suspect in 1982 Paris Jewish restaurant attack extradited to France
French prosecutors say the handover advances a decades-old terror case that killed 6 people and wounded 22 in Paris.
- The Palestinian Authority handed over Mahmoud Khadr Al-Adra, known as "Hisham Harb", to French authorities on Thursday. He was flown from Jordan to France to face allegations regarding a 1982 Paris restaurant attack.
- French authorities requested Al-Adra's extradition for alleged involvement in a 1982 Paris restaurant attack that killed six people and wounded at least 20. The case prompted months of French requests for his extradition.
- Sources confirmed the extradition was completed despite the absence of a Palestinian Court ruling on the request. Al-Adra was moved to Jordan after police contacted his Family earlier this week.
- Lawyer Mohammed Al-Harini argued "There is no legal foundation that could allow the Palestinian judiciary to extradite Mahmoud Khadr Al-Adra to the French authorities." He contended the Palestinian Authority relied on an outdated 1927 British Mandate-era law.
- Al-Adra now faces the French Court system regarding allegations from the 1982 attack, as the transfer occurred despite defense arguments challenging the legal validity of the extradition process.
