Downey tells court he will fight attempted extradition


Suspected IRA bomber John Downey has appeared before the High Court following his arrest in Donegal on foot of a European Arrest Warrant.
He’s wanted in Northern Ireland in connection with the murder of two British soldiers who died when a car bomb went off in Enniskillen in Co. Fermanagh in 1972.
The court heard the 66-year-old intends to fight his attempted extradition and he’s due to apply for bail on Thursday.
He was remanded in custody until then.
