The detained man, Uri Brodsky, entered Warsaw's district court Monday wearing a dark blue rain jacket with a hood pulled over his head. Escorted by anti-terror officers, Brodsky covered his face with his hands.

Court spokesman Wojciech Malek said it wasn't clear if the court would rule on his possible extradition Monday or at a later date.

Brodsky is suspected of helping forge a German passport used by one member of an Israeli Mossad spy agency hit squad allegedly behind the January killing of a Hamas leader, Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh, in Dubai.

The Israeli was detained in Poland in June on an arrest warrant issued by Germany.
