as I recall - the guy’s name was Kansi.

The important fact - he was caught (unfortunately it took a while).

as I recall - the guy’s name was Kansi.

The important fact - he was caught (unfortunately it took a while). It was indeed, one Mir Aimal Kasi, a pakistani national who spent four years on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list before his capture by Pakistan agents in Pakistan in 1997 and rendition back to the United States to stand trial. Kasi was executed by lethal injection on November 14, 2002, at Greensville Correctional Center in Jarratt, Virginia.

Kasi's body was repatriated to Pakistan, his funeral was attended by the entire civil hierarchy of Baluchistan, the local Pakistan Army Corps Commander and the Pakistani Ambassador to the United States, Ashraf Jahangir Qazi.Days before Kasi's conviction in November 1997, four US oil executives and their Pakistani taxi driver were shot dead in Karachi, in what has been described as a deliberate response to Kasi's guilty verdict. Kasi is memorialized through a mosque build with his name as Shaheed Aimal Kansi masjid (Martyr Aimal Kansi mosque) in the port city of Ormara in Kansi's home province of Balochistan in Pakistan.
