Zawahiri bro to stand trial in Egypt
2004-03-07
A top Al Qaeda aide Ayman Al-Zawahri's brother Mohammed Al-Zawahri, who has been extradited to Egypt, will stand trial once again, Egypt's Minister of Interior Habib Al-Adely has said. "Al Zawahri is a convict at large as he was sentenced to death in absentia by a judgment handed down by a court for a number of terror-related cases," he said. Al Adely, who did not disclose the country that extradited Mohammed Al Zawahri, explained that under the Egyptian laws any person convicted under an ex-parte judgment has the right to stand trial again so that he gets an opportunity to defend himself.
The country would be Yemen, I believe.

#1  Fred, I believe that Mohammed al-Zawahiri was arrested in Dubai in early 2001 and the extradited to Egypt after the CIA had a crack at him. Egypt has held al-Zawahiri for almost three years without acknowledging that that they had him. Al Jizz 3/4/04: Egypt acknowledged Thursday that it is holding Mohammed al-Zawahri.
