PARIS – An Algerian was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison yesterday for his role in a deadly series of terror attacks.

A Paris criminal court convicted Rachid Ramda of acting as a banker for, and giving logistical support to, Algerian terrorists who bombed the Paris subway in 1995.

Ramda, who operated from Britain, was the subject of a 10-year extradition battle with authorities in London, who finally handed him to France in December.

At the start of his trial last month, Ramda proclaimed his innocence and expressed sympathy for victims of the string of attacks in the Paris Metro, which killed 10 people and injured hundreds.

Ramda, 36, was convicted for “criminal association in connection with a terrorist enterprise” for three of the attacks, in which eight people were killed. The ruling also bars him from French soil upon his release.

Ramda already has served his 10 years of prison time in the case but remains jailed and faces murder charges in the eight deaths. He also is charged with attempting to kill 150 others in the three attacks. A second trial has not been scheduled. Ramda could face a life sentence if convicted in that case.

Ramda’s lawyer, Guillaume Barbe, said he would likely appeal yesterday’s conviction, if necessary to the European Court of Human Rights.

The trial originally was supposed to last four weeks, but it was shortened because of his refusal to participate.
