Afghanistan
Saudis will extradite tourism assassins
2002-02-18
  • An Afghan official said Saudi Arabia had arrested and would extradite two fugitive Afghan officials accused of assassinating aviation and tourism minister Abdul Rahman. "Two of them have been arrested in Saudi Arabia and maybe tomorrow they will be sent to Afghanistan," Afghan Interior Minister Yunus Qanooni said.

    Afghan interim leader Hamid Karzai had initially named three top security officials as carrying out Rahman's "assassination" and said they fled to Saudi Arabia disguised as pilgrims to Mecca.But Qanooni said one of three, whom he declined to name, had been ruled out as a suspect and did not give the names of those arrested. Saudi officials have yet to confirm the arrests.
    I hope Bob's the one they let off. I've always liked him.
