British authorities have sought Hashem’s extradition for nearly two years, saying he was involved in the attack.Both Hashem, who was then 18 years old, and the boys’ father, Ramadan Abedi, were detained by Libyan forces shortly after the attack.
The Tripoli government is currently seeking Western support as it battles forces loyal to Khalifa Hifter, a veteran Libyan general who launched an offensive against the capital in April. The Special Deterrence Force is one of several militias loosely aligned with the government that are battling Hifter’s forces.
