Creeslough man John Downey faces an extradition hearing today in Dublin over the murder of two British soldiers in August 1972.
Mr Downey, aged 66, is wanted by prosecutors in Northern Ireland over allegations relating to the IRA atrocity.
Mr Downey was arrested at his home in Ards, Creeslough last year under a European Arrest Warrant.
Northern Ireland’s Public Prosecution Service initiated extradition proceedings after determining it had sufficient evidence to charge him with the murders of Lance Corporal Alfred Johnston, 32, and Private James Eames, 33, in a car bomb attack in Enniskillen.
Mr Downey was previously charged with murdering four Royal Household Cavalrymen in an IRA bomb in London’s Hyde Park in 1982. This case collapsed in February 2014, when it emerged that Mr Downey was wrongly told he was not wanted by police.
PSNI reopened the 1972 double murder investigation four years ago. A fresh file on the killings was submitted to the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) in September 2014 and a decision was taken to charge Mr Downey.
The initial extradition hearing was adjourned in November 2018 after defence barrister, Tony McGillicuddy, asked the court for time to secure documents relating to legal proceedings in London in 2013 and 2014 that related to Mr Downey’s charges over the 1982 Hyde Park bomb.
