KARACHI: Pakistani authorities handed over a 'suspected foreigner' to the US authorities in a mysterious way in the early hours of Tuesday and there are strong suspicions that he was an Arab student of the Karachi University, with connections to some infamous wanted organisation. A Falcon aircraft owned by the US air force landed at Karachi airport at around 1 am and was parked in a remote, dark and isolated area at the old terminal, a source at the Karachi airport disclosed told The News.
The aircraft having registration numbers N-379 P arrived from Amman and departed at 2.40 am for the same destination, he said. "I cannot tell you about the nationality and identification of the person handed over to the US men. The entire operation was so mysterious that all persons involved in the operation, including US troops, were wearing masks," he said. A masked US trooper was also making a video film of the entire operation.
A private service company at the Karachi airport, Chemic Aviation, provided the airport services to the US aircraft. The 'wanted person' handed over to the US forces was not a Pakistani national as the man was addressed as a deportee. No one in the Civil Aviation Authority and Airport Security Force knew the details of the operation. Everything was kept in secret and operated by an agency, sources said.
It is the first time that Pakistani authorities have handed over any 'wanted person' to the US authorities at Karachi airport. There was some speculation that the person extradited may have been one of the Arabs arrested recently at Chaman at the Pak-Afghan border. But sources said there was no point in bringing him over to Karachi and to send him through Karachi Airport.
The most likely possibility is that an Arab student of Microbiology Department of Karachi University, who has been missing since the start of October, could be the man deported. Jamil Qasim Saeed Mohammad belonged to Taiz, a city of Yemen. He came to Karachi in 1993 from Sana'a. Just before he went missing, Interior Ministry had asked the University administration to send all the information about him. His connections with any terrorist organisation or if and why he was deported, could not be confirmed from official sources.
Whoever it is, he's in deep doo-doo.

RED WING-Federal authorities have been notified of two incidents outside the Prairie Island Nuclear Plant near Red Wing as the plant is still on highest alert in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the East Coast.
Red Wing police said the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has looked into at least one of the incidents, according to an article in last Friday's Red Wing Republican Eagle.
On Oct. 7, a neighbor and a hunter reported seeing nine men of Middle Eastern descent walking around and talking on cell phones close to a remote overlook of the plant. Red Wing Deputy Public Safety Director Tim Sletten was quoted as saying the men were gone by the time authorities arrived, but an FBI agent from Rochester, Minn., checked out the site last Wednesday, as did Sletten.
On Oct. 13, 10 people of either Mideast or India descent were said to have been stopped for trespassing on Xcel Energy Company property. The group, in two cars, were apparently looking at fall colors. Sletten reportedly said the group was cooperative, allowing authorities to search their vehicles; a background check of them by the FBI showed nothing suspicious, area authorities indicated.
Other threats received pertaining to the plant have also been deemed not suspicious, Sletten reportedly said.
Meantime, plant officials reportedly said security at the site remains at the highest level following a purported threat on Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island nuclear reactor Wednesday. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission was said to have announced the next day that the threat at that plant, which leaked radiation in 1979, wasn't credible.
The most likely possibility is that an Arab student of Microbiology Department of Karachi University, who has been missing since the start of October, could be the man deported.
Can't bring him back here , we have problems getting any facts out of the followers of Bin Laden!
How about that! Guess that anthrax wasn't from a vast right wing conspiracy after all.

Falcon, like F-16? The idea of transporting a prisoner in one is pretty far-fetched.
OR a "Deep Cover" agent being hastily recovered for an urgent "debriefing!"
Doc
Speculating: Masks might be needed if you intend for the film to later be used publicly, like to show the American people who you just caught.
