Walid Abdulrahman Abu Zayed, alias “Souhail Othman”, who has lived Norway since 1991, was one of three suspects on a French international warrant issued two weeks ago.

But his wife angrily denied the charges against him, and an official with the Norwegian Prosecuting Authority said that as he was now a citizen, he could not be extradited.

(Walid Abdulrahman’s identity was revealed by Paris Match earlier this month)

“There is no legal basis in Norway for expelling a Norwegian citizen to France or any other country,” the official told AFP on condition of anonymity.

He also said Norway was unlikely to arrest the suspect because a 2013 law exempting “serious acts of terrorism” from a 25-year statute of limitations cannot be applied retroactively.

France on February 20 issued international arrest warrants for three men suspected of involvement in the grenade and shooting attack on a Jewish restaurant in Paris that killed six people.
