While Americans were focused on a Chinese spy balloon making its way across the country, the Biden administration quietly released an al Qaeda terrorist radicalized by the September 11 attacks from Guantanamo Bay.
The Pentagon announced on Thursday that Majid Khan, 42, was moved to Belize after spending 16 years in CIA custody.
Authorities have maintained he was a close personal ally of al Qaeda leader Khalid Sheikh Mohammed who helped deliver money and transport other senior terrorists. And under Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's plans, Khan would have attacked US gas stations and water reservoirs.

Outrageous
He promises he’s changed? He probably has. He’s much worse now.
Better to look stupid than treasonous.
Just another treason charge that unfortunately won’t be filed. Biden needs to be tried and sentenced to treason.
Arrest and trial. Charges are treason and gross ineptitude.
This is zero’ s work
Yep, it’s so in line with his world view.
“This is zero’ s work”...
To support Mohammedism?
In his third term?
Of course it is!
He was radicalized long before the 9/11 attacks.
The guy lived in Boston, IIRC
That is, though a young man, he was already on assignment before 911.
Oops, not Boston...Baltimore. Interesting terror cell in Baltimore, by the way.
Majid’s lawyer is from the far left Center for Constitutional Rights...the same group to which Rahman, one of the two lawyers who firebombed police cars during the George Floyd / BLM riots, belonged
Interesting that Antony Blinken took a personal interest in setting this guy up comfortably in Belize.
Pakistani wins ruling in terror trial

NEW YORK - A Pakistani man can use statements from al-Qaida prisoners to defend himself against charges alleging he agreed to help terrorists sneak into the United States, but he won’t be allowed to call Khalid Sheik Mohammed or two other al-Qaida operatives as witnesses, a judge ruled Monday.
Uzair Paracha’s lawyer said it would be the first time al-Qaida prisoners’ statements would be used before a jury since the 2001 terrorist attacks.
“The statements completely contradict the government’s theory of the case,” said the attorney, Anthony Ricco.
Opening statements in Paracha’s trial are expected as early as Wednesday.
U.S. District Judge Sidney H. Stein ruled Monday that testimony from Mohammed, al-Qaida’s No. 3 leader before his capture, was not relevant to the case. He also sided with the government’s argument that allowing al-Qaida operatives Majid Khan and Ammar Al-Baluchi to testify would raise significant national security issues.
The judge also refused to permit the testimony of Paracha’s father, Saifullah Paracha, a businessman held at Guantanamo Bay.
Uzair Paracha, 24, is accused of meeting with Mohammed and another al-Qaida member in Pakistan before entering the United States in early 2003.
He was arrested in March 2003 as a material witness in the government’s Sept. 11 probe and was later charged with conspiring to support al-Qaida, conspiring to violate laws barring economic support for al-Qaida and committing identification document fraud in aid of terrorism.
Prosecutors have claimed Paracha made statements that his father met with Osama bin Laden before Sept. 11, 2001. They said he also admitted he believed that Khan was an al-Qaida operative and that by helping Khan he was assisting al-Qaida.
In their statements, Khan and Al-Baluchi said Paracha was unaware that they had al-Qaida connections, according to court records.
Majid is part of the same Baltimore cell of terrorists that Aafia Siddiqui, Lady al-Qaeda of MIT was in. Obama released her back to Pakistan I believe.
Seems like all the terrorists associated with WMD get “get out of jail free” cards.
Sure he’s changed.
For the worst.
