Iran rules out terror extraditions
Wednesday, October 29, 2003 Posted: 1330 GMT
PARIS, France (CNN) --
Iran will refuse requests to extradite captured al Qaeda members to the United States, instead trying them under Iranian law, a top official has said. Seyed Mohammad Sadegh Kharazi, Iran’s ambassador to France, also said Tuesday there were "links between al Qaeda and the military elements of the Baath party," the party once run by deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. He described al Qaeda and the Taliban as "essentially the illegitimate children" of the United States.
Oh yeah. I see the connection, now. Thx.
U.S. officials blame recent attacks in Iraq on Baath party remnants, members of terrorist groups, and other insurgents. The United States has called on Iran to send al Qaeda members within its borders to the United States, because of the terrorist attacks the group has launched against the U.S. and its interests overseas.
We’d like to sit down, pull out the samovar, and whip up a little tea. That’s how these things are done, y’know.
Kharazi said his country will instead try al Qaeda members "under Iranian law because they have committed crimes on our territory. We have from the very beginning been totally opposed to al Qaeda and, besides, al Qaeda has been completely opposed to us," Kharazi told reporters at the Center for Foreign Press.
I think Kharazi needs to talk to the other Iranian Govt - the one that actually runs things... He appears to be confused. Perhaps it’s from being posted in Phrawnce.
"It has to be said that the Taliban and al Qaeda are essentially the illegitimate children of the U.S.A. It is the Americans who are responsible for bringing these movements into being."
Right. Ignore the timeline. We asked for it - in advance. Just post-date that fatwa.
...More...
Watch the Black Hats invent reality and logic. It’s a marvel, but not unique - a very similar process is occurring right here at home. Our own Local Looney Land is well advanced in constructing their own noir reality and logic. See? Over there, just to the Left of Trotsky.

In that case, they're out past their curfew, so please send the bastards back home...
