(Reuters) - An Irish court on Thursday began extradition hearings against an Algerian man facing two terrorism charges in the United States connected to the so-called Jihad Jane conspiracy.
Ali Charaf Damache is wanted by the FBI for conspiracy in a failed international plot to murder a Swedish cartoonist whose depiction of the Prophet Mohamed with the body of dog inflamed public opinion in Muslim countries.
Damache, originally arrested in Ireland in March 2010, appeared at Dublin's extradition court on charges of conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists and attempted identity theft to facilitate an act of international terrorism.
Also known by his online username 'Black Flag', Damache faces a maximum of 30 years in jail if convicted in the United States.
