Poland May Extradite Man Linked to Dubai Assassination Plot

AFP reports that the Polish government is considering extraditing an Israeli man alleged to be connected with the January killing of a Hamas chief in Dubai.

An Israeli man arrested in Poland who is believed to be a Mossad agent linked to the January killing of a Hamas chief in Dubai must be brought home and not extradited to Germany, ministers said on Sunday.

According to German weekly Der Spiegel, which broke the story on its website on Saturday, Uri Brodsky was arrested at Warsaw airport on June 4 on suspicion of obtaining a German passport by fraudulent means -- a passport used by one of the killers involved in the assassination of a top Hamas official.

Germany issued an international arrest warrant for Brodsky several weeks ago and prosecutors are pushing for Warsaw to extradite him.

But it was unclear whether Poland -- one of Israel's closest allies -- would agree to a German request to extradite Brodsky.
