An extradition hearing against University of Ottawa professor Hassan Diab will begin on Jan. 4 next year, Ontario Superior Court Justice Robert Maranger judge ruled Tuesday.
Diab is accused by French authorities of murdering four people in a 1980 Paris synagogue bombing and attempting to murder another 40.
The Lebanese-born Diab, who became a Canadian citizen in 1993, has been under virtual house arrest since he was taken into custody late last year.
