Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks in the United States, was arrested Saturday in Pakistan, a senior Pakistan government source told The Associated Press.

Mohammed, who is on the FBI's most wanted list, was among three people arrested in Rawalpindi, near the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, the official said

Will he be extradited to the US or will he be in US custody? There's a difference.

Al-Arian has to be thinking, "America can be your best friend or worst enemy. You decide your future."

Where did you get the idea that Hitler is dead? He has simply been reanimated.

His trial should be at the Federal courthouse downtown. Blocks from the WTC.

I'm not sure that's such a good idea. The sentencing of the defendants in the embassy bombing trial was scheduled to take place in that courthouse on 9/12/2001.

Fox reported that he will be extradited to the U.S.

[aristeides]

I think the ISI has him now.

Rawalpindi is a garrison town, with the headquarters of the Pakistani Army. I suspect the safehouse these guys were captured in is itself ISI.

Let the Pakistanis torture him until he divulges the full extent of Saddam's complicity with 9/11, the anthrax mailings, and anything else we might not know all the details about.

Khalid Shaikh Mohammed......."You're the next contestant on Beat the Reaper!!

[mass55th]

"I wonder how long before Ramsey Clark gets involved and defends him."

Or Jesse Jackson and Jimmy Carter march for his clemency plea.

[BossLady]

I think life in prison...and short of sending him to his virgins is a nice one.... :o (There will be several groups in prison gen pop wanting to take him out, anyway.)

[John123]

Do we have Mullah Omar?

He is still hiding in the mountains of Afghanistan. I have serious doubts we will ever get him. Look how hard it was to get the two dumbass snipers in Maryland.

My EXACT same RESPONSE, Arkinsaw!!!......WHAT????????

[swheats]

That was a major hyde and seek. But, we got 'em. Thank God.

[strela]

He's no fun, he fell right over ...

[swheats]

hyde=hide

[smith288]

Will NOT be extradited. He will be turned over to US officials in Pakistan. Extradition applies our laws on him therefore less of a chance to get the truth out of him

[sweetliberty]

Fox just modified the report to say that he would NOT be extradited, but would be interrogated in an undisclosed location by American authorities. This is good news! I was concerned about them sending him here. He would be another Moussaui who would suck up resources and be privy to American rights and give us nothing in return.

Holy mudhead, Mackerel! More Science High - its disappeared!!!

LOL! Everything seems to ruin Tiny Tommy's days of late. That's just an added bonus.
