#4 French soldiers are determined to capture the fugitive head of the al-Qaida network by the end of the year

In order to keep him from the "inhumane" conditions in Gitmo, no doubt.

#5 Bentegeat said that about 200 French troops are working with American forces in Afghanistan in the hunt for holdouts of the ousted Taliban regime and al-Qaida.

We're screwed...

#6 There is some truth to this story. The French are helping out in Afghanistan and they may be patrolling that region. Also the U.S. might be using the French as a hunting dog. Flushing Binney into a smaller area where capture will be easy. I hope we get him first becuase we don't want to have to ask the French to extradite him.

#7 Who knows... let's wait and find out the story, there's alway the chance it could be these guys.

#8 Shipman, sounds like it was the Frogs' Inspector Clouseau Platoon and not the FFL.

#9 I thought all the NATO contingent (including French) were guarding Kabul. If they are getting out and going hunting, then Good on Them. It's appreciated.

#10  "I hope we get him first becuase we don't want to have to ask the French to extradite him."

Cyber Sarge--Remember the hippy cult leader from Philly who chopped up his girlfriend and lived free in France for decades? Or how about Mumia the Cop Killer who was made a 'citizen of Paris'?

The Frogs might whisk Binny back to Europe and make him Ambassador to Spain! And the new Spanish government will recieve him.

(Can ya tell I'm depressed?) Peace be upon Frank for Rantburg!

#11 If the French had bin Laden and refused to extradite, I'd march in the streets demanding an invasion of France.
