Hamdi Issac left his prison cell on the outskirts of Rome and was to be handed over to British authorities later Thursday, police said. Issac, a British citizen also known as Osman Hussain, was arrested on an international arrest warrant in the Italian capital on July 29.
British authorities want to prosecute him for his alleged role in the attempted bombing at the Shepherd’s Bush subway station. No one was killed in the four, near-simultaneous attacks, which came two weeks after suicide bombings July 7 on London’s transport system killed 56 people, including the four bombers.
