| Suspected U.S. 'Millennium Bomber' in British Court |
| 2002-04-22 |
| An Algerian accused of plotting to blow up Los Angeles International Airport over the millennium appeared in a British court on Monday to fight extradition to the United States. Amar Makhlulif, also known as Abu Doha and "The Doctor," was arrested in February last year at London's Heathrow airport while trying to board a plane to Saudi Arabia. The United States alleges that he oversaw a group of Algerian terrorists plotting to bomb the airport before the millennium celebrations and met bin Laden to coordinate efforts. Boarding a plane for Saudi Arabia, huh? Gosh, wonder why he wanted to go there? |
