Iran asks Bonn to extradite ex-president Banisadr .  BONN 1996-08-28  Iran has asked Germany to extradite its former president Abolhassan Banisadr for alleged hijacking , an Iranian embassy spokesman said on Wednesday .  Banisadr angered Tehran last week by accusing top Iranian leaders of ordering the assassination of Iranian Kurdish leaders in a Berlin restaurant in 1992 .  He made the allegations at the trial of an Iranian and four Lebanese accused of carrying out the attack .  An [START_ENT] Iranian [END_ENT] embassy spokesman said in response to an inquiry that Iran had formally requested Banisadr 's extradition for hijacking the military aircraft which he commandeered to flee Iran in July 1981 .  " We submitted the request three or four days ago , " he said .  German authorities could not immediately be reached for comment .  Banisadr lives under round-the-clock security in France , fearing Tehran could make an attempt on his life .  He is due back in Berlin on September 5 to continue his testimony , which has backed up German prosecutors ' allegations that Tehran ordered the attack on the exiled leaders .  Three dissidents and their translator were killed in the gangland-style machinegun attack .  Iran has warned Germany that bilateral relations could suffer if it pays heed to the testimony of Banisadr , an architect of Iran 's Islamic revolution who has been a sworn enemy of Tehran since he fell from favour after a year as president .
