Oh, rilly? We are so surprised. What, pray tell, might be the reasons? "Pakistan has conveyed to the U.S. that the extradition of Omar at this stage would cause trouble," a senior official told Reuters. Hmmm. Yasss. We've already discussed that. Oh, you mean some other kind of trouble? The Foreign Ministry spokesman said an indictment for Sheikh Omar in the United States had been received from Washington, but that Pakistan needed to first complete its investigations. "How long'll that take?" "12 years." Underlining the pressure on the government, police in Karachi said they had moved Sheikh Omar to a high-security detention center following a threatened rocket attack on the building where he was being held. Wouldn't that be kinda hard on the guy the Bad Guys are supposedly trying to spring? Or was there a ground assault included in the deal? "After a meeting, which reviewed the threat, we have decided to keep Omar at a more secure place," a police official said. Guantanamo'd be pretty secure. Police received an anonymous phone call on Tuesday night threatening to attack the detention center if Pakistan's government bowed to the U.S. extradition demand. They got another one earlier that was just heavy breathing, and another just moments before that asking if they wanted to list their house for sale. And then there was the one about changing the long distance service. Some sort of a pattern? Y'know what? They oughta get caller ID. |
