“Terror suspects lose extradition case in Britain”
(AFP) – 5 days ago
SNIPPET: “LONDON — Two alleged leading conspirators of Osama bin Laden on Friday lost their latest battle to escape extradition from Britain over the 1998 US embassy bombings in east Africa.
Khalid al Fawwaz, a 46-year-old Saudi businessman, and Adel Abdel Bary, an Egyptian, are wanted by the United States over their alleged role in the attacks in Kenya and Tanzania that killed 224 people.”
SNIPPET: “Al Fawwaz was living with his wife and three children in London before his arrest on a New York court indictment in Britain in 1999. At the time of his arrest he was alleged to be the head of the British cell of Al-Qaeda.
The latest legal proceedings arose after Al Fawwaz and Abdel Bary were informed in March last year that Britain had issued warrants authorising their return to the United States.”

“Bin Laden letters order US massacre
Followers in London told to acquire weapons of mass destruction to counter American action in Iraq and Saudi Arabia”
Philip Willan in Rome and Nick Hopkins
The Guardian, Thursday 18 October 2001 01.56 BST
SNIPPET: “Letters allegedly written by Osama bin Laden to his supporters in London called on members of his al-Qaida network to acquire weapons of mass destruction and urged them to “kill, fight, create traps and destroy” Americans.”
SNIPPET: “The letters were supposedly seized by Scotland Yard during an investigation to find Bin Laden followers in Britain who may have had knowledge of, or involvement in, the 1998 bombings of the US embassies in Tanzania and Kenya.
The inquiry led to the arrest in September 1998 of three men - Khalid al-Fawwaz, Adel Abdul Bary and Ibrahim Hussein Eidarous - who are currently appealing against extradition to the US where they would face charges relating to the attacks. Their case will be heard in the House of Lords on Monday.”
I think you could have gotten by with starting a new thread for this tidbit.
Resurrecting an 8 year old thread with a title that doesn’t match the subject is a little confusing.
