EXTRADITION proceedings against Ms Roisin McAliskey, who is 8 1/2 months pregnant, were postponed yesterday because she was too ill to attend a London magistrate's court, reports Rachel Borrill.

Ms McAliskey (25), who is awaiting extradition to Germany in connection with an IRA mortar attack on a British army barracks in Osnabruck last June, had been due to appear at Bow Street Magistrate's Court for a committal hearing, during which the German government would have had to produce the evidence against her.
