Germany’s highest court has freed a suspected al Qaeda financier.

“The court’s main argument was that Germany’s law implementing Europe-wide warrant powers did not provide for judicial review of extradition orders.”

Mamoun Darkazanli “is known to have associated with the Hamburg cell of 9/11 hijackers, and is accused of being a high-level al Qaeda contact in Europe.” Details here.
