EULEX rejects US extradition request

EULEX judges on Friday rejected a US request for the extradition of a Kosovo Albanian suspected of terrorism. A three-member panel denied the request to extradite Bajram Asllani, citing several grounds, including the lack of a valid extradition treaty between the two countries. Asllani, 29, was arrested in Mitrovica on June 17th. He has been charged in the US with providing support to terrorists and conspiracy to kill, kidnap and damage property in a foreign country.
