The Netherlands deports terrorist suspect to the US

The Netherlands handed over a Somali terror suspect to the US on Thursday and he has now been flown to the US to face charges, Trouw reports on Friday.


The High Court ruled in February that the man could be extradited.
The 44-year-old is alleged to have helped extremists travel to Somalia to train with the radical Islamic movement Al-Shabab. He was arrested at a refugee centre in Dronten, Flevoland in November 2009.
