A spokesman for an Austrian court said on July 27 that a Pakistani man suspected of having links to the Islamic State terrorists who killed 130 people in Paris last November would be extradited to France.

The spokesman for the regional court in the city of Linz said "the extradition of the Pakistani man was declared admissible." He declined to give further details.

The Salzburger Nachrichten newspaper that the suspect and an Algerian man had contact with the Paris attackers in Austria.

The two men were arrested last December at a refugee center in Salzburg.

The Austria Presse Agentur reported that the Algerian suspect would also be extradited to France following a ruling by a court in Salzburg.

France's Le Monde newspaper has reported that the two men travelled together from Syria to the Greek island of Leros with two Iraqi brothers who blew themselves up near the Stade de France outside of Paris on November 13.
