bin Laden is wanted in connection to the 1998 bombing of the WTC. I wonder if Afganistan will consider extradiction.
'Course, we don't recognize the Taliban leadership, yet.
Do you mean 1993 bombing?
i heard that wasn't true
1998 was the embasy bombing (also by him)
I was thinking about the WTC bombing in 1993. Oops. :rolleyes:
Okay, my bad. The trade center bombing was in '93 and the embassy bombing was in '98.
Well, bin Laden is wanted in connection with one or both of those crimes.
All of them. He's just been official named as the prime suspect this time too
The United States would never extradite and try Bin Laden. Not in a million years.
No, they'd just blow the **** out of him.
he'll be stoned before he gets off the plane and touches our soil :rolleyes:
He won't get anywhere close. The Mosad or the CIA will kill him in Afghanistan.
Well last night I heard on the news that the Taliban will hand him over if the US can prove it was him !
I wonder what definition of proof they will require. Beyond a
shadow of a doubt (murder 1) or convincing evidence (civil law) or
preponderance of evidence (non-murder felony).
I think proof that he orchestrated the attacks on the states is what they need. Nothing else would probably do.
Including murder.
He isn't going to be extradited, though. He will be shot in Afghanistan.Quote:

Technically, you can't extradite if you don't have a treaty. It's
hard to have a treaty if you don't recognize the government.
I guess the Pakistanis could get extradition and then further
extradite to the US (Pakistan is 1 of 3 nations that recognize the
Taliban)
I'm not trying to be funny, but I thought he lived in a cave surrounded by armed gunmen. So how can he really be under house arrest?
Seriously. If he has all these people willing to die for him? Surely breaking him out would be easy peasy - lemon squeezy!!!

House arrest for someone like Osama bin Laden probably means he was moved to a palace in Afghanistan.Quote:

And I'm not kidding.
I have a theory on this one.
Nobody wants to be at the business end of a US retaliation.
Especially not a pisspot little country.
Now, Bush said that he'll strike any host nation.
The taliban said they'd give him to an islamic court if it was him, so in effect, the taliban are saying that they are not a host nation.
So that means that bush cant really attack them.
The fact that the Taliban has been housing, funding, and hiding Osama and his ilk for years somewhat gives the United States the right to deal with Afghanistan however they choose.Quote:
