Canadian man’s appeal to stop extradition to US over Iraq deaths denied

An Iraqi-born Canadian man accused of helping to plan suicide bombings which left five American soldiers dead lost an appeal against his extradition to the United States on Monday.
Lawyers for Faruq Khalil Muhammad ‘Isa, who faces life in prison if eventually convicted, immediately vowed to take the case to the Supreme Court of Canada.
‘Isa was indicted in New York federal court in 2011 on charges of conspiracy to murder Americans in his native Iraq, and providing material support for terrorism.
He was arrested in Canada the same year and subsequently ordered extradited to the United States to face a trial.
