Court: Aswat Can Be Extradited |
2006-01-06 |
![]() British Home Secretary Charles Clarke now has up to two months to approve the extradition. The defense had argued that Aswat should not be extradited to the United States because he would face an "overwhelming risk" of being held in solitary confinement without trial â cut off from his friends, family and attorneys. Aswat's lawyer, Paul Bowen, immediately appealed. Aswat was arrested in Lusaka, Zambia, on July 20 in connection with the July 7 bombings in London, in which four suicide bombers killed 52 transit passengers. |

#5 How purtymouth got his.. RD - great graphic... his legal defence team and a fair portion of the UK MSM are painting this guy as some kind of Muslim missionary bent on creating a peaceful, utopian religious community in the States. Needless to say that pic hasn't been used anywhere in the British press that I've seen. What a pair - they could be lovers. |

#2 Additional art. January 5 2006 ... Aswat has connections and a past that are almost too neat a fit. Now 31, he was brought up in Dewsbury, near Leeds, where Mohammad Sidique Khan, one of the London bombers, lived. He left the area 10 years ago and is believed to have travelled to training camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan. He is said to have told investigators in Zambia that he was once a bodyguard for Osama Bin Laden. When Aswat returned to Britain he attended the Finsbury Park mosque in north London, which was a hotbed of radicalism in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Reda Hassaine, an Algerian journalist who worked as an informant for the British and French security services, witnessed Aswat recruiting young men at the mosque to the cause of Al-Qaeda. âInside the mosque he would sit with the new recruits telling them about life after death and the obligation of every Muslim to do the jihad against the unbelievers,â said Hassaine last week. âAll the talk was about killing in order to go to paradise and get the 72 virgins.â Aswat also showed potential recruits videotapes of the mujaheddin in action in Bosnia and Chechnya. âHe used to tell them look at your brothers, the mujaheddin. All of them are now in paradise living next to the prophet,â said Hassaine. âHe was always wearing Afghan or combat clothes. In the evening he offered some tea to the people who would sit with him to listen to the heroic action of the mujaheddin before joining the cleric for the finishing touch of brainwashing. |
