Estradizione Campbell si discuterà a Belfast
Arms accused faces NI extradition
One of the men held to be responsible for the Omagh bombing in a civil judgement will face extradition proceedings in Northern Ireland.
Liam Campbell, 46, is wanted in Lithuania in connection with arms smuggling offences.
Extradition proceedings are at an advanced stage in the Irish Republic and a defence lawyer argued those should be allowed to continue.
However, a judge said Lithuania wanted the case to be heard in the UK.
He said there was no reason for him to turn their request down and remanded Campbell in custody.
Last month, Campbell, of Upper Faughart, County Louth, and three other men were ruled to have been responsible for the Omagh bombing after a landmark civil case brought by families of some of the victims of the 1998 atrocity.
Campbell was arrested in May after crossing the border into Northern Ireland.
Extradition proceedings against him over the alleged weapons plot had already been going on for six months in the Republic at that time.
Belfast Recorders Court was previously told the plot involved smuggling weapons including automatic rifles, ammunition, projectors, detonators and timers into Ireland for use by dissident republicans.
