THE extradition case of a man suspected of being involved in a Provisional IRA mortar attack on a British army barracks in Germany in 1996 will be heard in October, the High Court in Dublin has decided.

James Corry (46) was arrested in Killorglin, Co Kerry, last October on foot of a European Arrest Warrant issued by German authorities.

Mr Corry is suspected of being involved in the attack in Osnabruck in which three mortar shells were fired at the barracks.

Ms Justice Aileen Donnelly fixed a hearing date of October 5 for Mr Corry's case and remanded him on continuing bail.
