The U.S. State Department is currently in negotiations with the Egyptian government for the transfer of custody of Omar Abdel-Rahman, also known as “the Blind Sheikh,” for humanitarian and health reasons, a source close to the the Obama administration told TheBlaze.

Glenn Beck revealed the controversial news on his show Monday.

The negotiations are allegedly part of the ongoing discussions with the Egyptian government to resolve the crisis plaguing the Middle East, the source told TheBlaze. Calls to the State Department for comment referred us to the Department of Justice, and nothing has been confirmed.

The Blind Sheikh is serving a life sentence in American prison for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. His release has been called one of the top priorities of the new Islamist administration in Egypt. Many have pinpointed the cause of last week‘s unrest in Egypt to be protests over the Blind Sheikh’s release– not an anti-Islam YouTube video.

Unbelievable. This man is a multiple murderer.

1993 World trade happened due to Blind Sheikh.
After his arrest US lost over 6000 citizens.

Now they want to release him to appease Morsi.
Cowards.

We’ll see who wins this tug of war: the blatant appeasers at the State Department or Justice.

Frankly, I think Holder will fold.

People have almost forgotten about the first attack. Heck, they’ve almost forgotten about 9/11.

The Obama-licking media has led that campaign. Remember, NBC News skipped the moment of silence on 9/11 to chat with some dumb celebrity about her fake boobs. When questioned, they expressed sorrow that affiliates had to deal with complaints.

The release of a terrorist complicit in an attack on American soil will get twenty seconds at 6:23 during the Nightly News with Katie Couric or Diane Sawyer or whoever. And those seconds will focus on his brave battle against a terrible illness with violin music in the background. Brian Williams will wipe away a tear.

He ought to rot in prison, but I’ll pay for his flight home if they will go ahead and take Obama and Michelle, too.

Even 9-11 was revenge, Osama wanted his mentor freed from US prison.

[SE Mom]

OMG. If this is true it is a TRAVESTY.

I don’t suppose anyone will compare this to the guy convicted of the Lockerbie bombing, who was “transferred to Libya” because he was supposedly dying of cancer, and promptly disappeared.

What? WHAT? WHAT?

Well, thats what Zahari demanded.

no

Obama is a Muslim sell-out. Any country stupid enough to elect someone with a Muslim background, when we are at war with Muslims, deserves what it gets.

I’d love to see him transferred to Egypt.

In a shoebox(s).

[SkyDancer]

Please love us. Here’s another terrorist for you.

[popdonnelly]

I am sincerely hoping that this report is wrong.

How can decent Democrats associate themselves with this Administration?

“ongoing discussions with the Egyptian government to resolve the crisis plaguing the Middle East”

What the hell does that mean?!

Surely Obama doesn’t think releasing this murderer is going to ‘fix’ the ‘crisis plaguing the Middle East’ ?! I thought it was about a freaking movie! /s

Talk about no clue, I think we have a winner!
