Arabia
Kuwaiti shooter extradited...
2002-11-23
A Kuwaiti policeman who is accused of shooting two American soldiers was extradited from neighboring Saudi Arabia, where he fled after the attack, the Kuwaiti Interior Ministry said Saturday. Khaled Al-Shimmiri was handed over to Kuwait at the Salmi border point just before midnight, said Maj. Adel al-Hashash, spokesman for the ministry. Interior Minister Sheik Mohammed Khaled Al Sabah, said in a statement that investigators had begun questioning Al-Shimmiri, who was detained Friday in Saudi Arabia's Hafr al-Baten region near the Kuwaiti border.

#3  Nah, if they were French, they'd refuse to let us talk to the guy, they'd try him in a court system that is already predisposed to releasing him, and they'd have sympathy for his "rage." I think the Kuwaitis are going to work this guy over and dump what's left out back.
