| Pakistan may seek Junaid Babar's extradition |
| 2006-04-25 |
| The Pakistani government is contemplating a move to seek the extradition of a US informant who told a British court on March 30 that he was involved in two plots to assassinate President General Pervez Musharraf and had bought guns, ammunition and grenades to carry out the killing. Mohammad Junaid Babar, a Pakistan-born American, said the first plot was in early 2002 and the second was planned for Eid in 2003. The 31-year-old is the main prosecution witness at the London trial of seven Britons who are accused of planning bomb attacks in the UK. Police describe the case as Britain's biggest terrorism trial since the Sept 11 attacks on the United States. "Since the man has confessed to conspiring to attack our president, our investigators would like to question him and he may be needed to be prosecuted here in Pakistan," said an official of the ministry of interior while talking to Daily Times on the phone from Islamabad. |
