In another show of support in the war on terror, Pakistan will send top al Qaeda terrorist suspect Abu Farraj al-Libbi to the United States, according to President Gen. Pervez Musharraf. Al-Libbi's extradition to the United States will send a clear message that the war on terror is not a unilateral war, but one in which several nations are working together to eradicate this evil.
U.S. counterterrorism officials rank Abu Farraj al-Libbi as Osama bin Laden's No. 3 man. The Libyan born terrorist, who was captured by Pakistan on May 2, has been a suspect in two attempts on the life of Pakistan's President General Pervez Musharraf and he was among six suspects identified as Pakistan's "Most Wanted Terrorists" in a poster campaign last year. Thank you Pakistan for all of your efforts in fighting the war on terror.
The ACLU is going to be all over this one, to get him freed, get him 'protected by those mean ole American troops'.
I have to admit, I'm surprised. This guy is supposedly responsible for two attempts on the Pakistani president's (Musharraf?) life. I really thought the Pakistanis would want to take care of this guy quite personally...
I thought they would have executed him too. Mabe this is their way of cooperating with US.
