A French court has approved the extradition to Belgium of a French man suspected of killing four people in an attack on Brussels’ Jewish Museum.<br /><br />Mehdi Nemmouche, 29, has been held in the southern French city of Marseille since the end of May.<br /><br />It is understood he only agreed to being extradited provided Belgium does not send him to Israel, given that two of the victims were Israeli.<br /><br />Nemmouche’s lawyer, Apolin Pepiezep, said: “He will most likely appeal the decision. He has not received a guarantee from Belgium that he would not be extradited to a third country.”<br /><br />An Israeli couple, a French woman were killed in the attack on 24 May. A Belgian man was also shot and later died of his injuries.<br /><br />Prosecutors say Nemmouche was a repeat offender in France and spent most of last year in Syria fighting with Islamist rebels.
