Lawyers for an Algerian man, wanted in connection with a series of Paris train bombings in 1995, say new moves to extradite him are "legally flawed"

BBC News:

Rachid Ramda, the UK's longest-serving extradition prisoner, is challenging a Home Office ruling he must be removed.

Mr Ramda is accused of conspiring in an explosion at Paris Metro station which killed eight people and of organising and financing several other bombings.

The 10-year extradition battle has caused anger in France.

Mr Ramda, 35, faces 23 charges of financing and organising a bombing campaign in France between August and November 1995.

On a separate extradition request, he is accused of being a conspirator in the bombing of the Saint Michel Metro station on 25 July 1995, in which eight people were killed and 87 injured.

He is also believed to be a financier of Algeria's outlawed Armed Islamic Group (GIA).

The GIA, which fights the government in Algeria, is thought to be responsible for the 1995 bombing campaign.
