Spain has approved a request from the US to extradite an alleged jihadist , Ali Charaf Damache, who is believed to have conspired with a woman known as “Jihad Jane,” to recruit people to carry out terror attacks in Europe and Asia. Washington had wanted to speak to Damache, who was arrested in December in Barcelona. Police were alerted to his presence in the Spanish city thanks to a telephone tip-off to the country’s emergency 112 number, Spanish media reported.
US officials believe he conspired with an American woman, Colleen LaRose, known in the US media as “Jihad Jane,” to create a “violent jihad organization” and to carry out attacks in Europe. The Spanish government ruled in favor of granting the US extradition case Friday and if Damache is found guilty, he could face up to 45 years in prison.
