Bonn Denies Extradition of Hostage Case Leader
Bonn government rejects extradition of Mohammed Ali Hamadi to the United States on air piracy and murder charges. U.S. officials plan to press the case during Meese's Bonn visit, while Kohl and ministries reportedly oppose extradition, citing safety concerns for hosts. Hamadi, a Lebanese Shiite, was linked to the June 1985 hijacking of a TWA jetliner to Beirut, which killed a U.S. Navy diver and left several Americans held for 17 days.
