A Malaysian court has approved the extradition of an Iranian to Thailand over his alleged involvement in a bomb plot targeting Israeli officials.

A judge allowed Thailand's extradition request, saying that Masoud Sedaghatzadeh, 31, was a "fugitive criminal".

He was arrested in Kuala Lumpur a day after bombs exploded in the Thai capital, Bangkok, on 14 February.

He has denied any involvement and said he would appeal to a higher court.
