London  - Bishop Richard Williamson would fight to the highest court if Germany demanded his extradition from Britain to try him for doubting the scale of the Holocaust, it was reported Sunday.

His lawyer, Kevin Lowry-Mullins, said Williamson would resist after German Justice Minister Brigitte Zypries had told journalists last week that Berlin might ask Britain to arrest Williamson.

The Sunday Telegraph quoted Lowry-Mullins, who thwarted Germany's efforts to obtain extradition of another alleged Holocaust denier, saying he would take the case to the House of Lords, the highest court, if need be.

British bishop Richard Williamson found himself back in the centre of controversy Friday despite a statement he issued expressing an apology over his Holocaust statements, with the Vatican calling it inadequate and Germany speaking about seeking his extradition.

Williamson, now residing at an undisclosed location in Britain after his expulsion from Argentina on Wednesday, had published a statement on the website of the British arm of the ultra-conservative Society of Saint Pius X expressing "regrets" about the "harm and hurt" which his Holocaust denial remarks had caused.

Brussels  - British bishop Richard Williamson's comments questioning the Holocaust are "unacceptable" and an "attack on reality," the European Union's top justice official said Friday.

But the EU does not yet have concerted rules in place which would allow for his prosecution, leaving the response in the hands of individual governments, EU Justice Commissioner Jacques Barrot told journalists at a meeting of EU justice ministers in Brussels.
