Prosecutors say an Iraqi immigrant arrested three months ago in Arizona on charges of participating in the 2006 killings of two police officers in Iraq should remain jailed until his extradition case concludes because he is at risk of fleeing and poses a danger to the community. Prosecutors also told a judge at a hearing Friday that he should reject Ali Yousif Ahmed Al-Nouri’s claim that he shouldn’t be extradited because his offense in Iraq was of a political nature. Ahmed’s attorney, Jami Johnson, disputed the prosecutors' arguments and questioned why it took nearly 13 years for the Iraqi criminal case to be filed and alleged that there is pervasive corruption in the Iraqi justice system.
