STILL photograph of Somali-born Hamdi Issac, also known as Osman Hussain, a naturalised British citizen, of the four suspects in the July 21 bombing attempts in London, is seen here after he was arrested in Rome on July 29, 2005 STORYLINE The suspect in the failed July 21 London bombings who was arrested in Rome last July was being extradited to Britain on Thursday. Hamdi Issac was taken from his prison cell on the outskirts of Rome in a police van and escorted by police to Rome's Ciampino airport for extradition to Britain. 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 underground station. No one was killed in the four, near-simultaneous failed attacks, which happened two weeks after the July 7 suicide bombings on London's transport system that killed 56 people, including the four bombers. Issac fought extradition, but Italy's highest court on September 13 upheld a lower court's decision to extradite him to Britain. The transfer must happen by Friday, said Paolo Iorio, a lawyer representing the British government in the case.
