Egypt Receives Jihad Leader From Pakistan
2002-04-08
  • Egypt has taken into custody a leading member of an Islamic insurgency group. Diplomatic sources said Pakistan has extradited Mohammed Najeh to Egypt. Najeh, also known as Abu Masab Roiters, was identified as a leading intelligence agent of the Egyptian insurgency group Jihad and a deputy of Osama Bin Laden. Najeh was said to have been sent to Egypt from Pakistan last month. He was arrested after he crossed into Pakistan from Afghanistan amid the U.S.-led offensive against Al Qaida.

    The sources said Najeh was one of two insurgents extradited by Pakistan to Egypt. Cairo has obtained more than 25 Egyptian fugitives since the suicide attacks on New York and Washington on Sept. 11. They include insurgents who found safe haven in such countries as Azerbaijan, Bosnia, Jordan and Syria.
    "For me? Wotta nice present! Really, you shouldn't have..."
    The Egyptians, for all their wobbling on the international war against terror, do have the nice habit of hanging these guys when they got ahold of them. Keeps the recidivism rate way down, too.
