| Washington wants to extradite US ‘enemy combatant’ to Iraq |
| 2006-02-09 |
| The United States wants to hand over to Baghdad for trial a detained US citizen suspected of links to Iraq Al-Qaeda leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the manÂ’s lawyers said on Wednesday. Shawqi Omar, a Sunni Muslim with both US and Kuwaiti nationality, allegedly served as ZarqawiÂ’s personal emissary with different Iraqi insurgent groups,according to US documents released Wednesday. Omar was detained by US forces in Iraq on October 29, 2004 and held without charge for 15 months. In a document recently submitted to a federal court in Washington, the US government also alleged that Omar took part in staking out foreigners to be kidnapped and plotted with Zarqawi to undertake a chemical weapons attack... I suspect we wish to extradite him to Iraq because of the fine quality of Iraqi hemp. |
