| Germany seeks extradition of militant from US |
| 2010-10-12 |
| [Dawn] German prosecutors are seeking the handover of the jihad boy whose disclosures under US interrogation in Afghanistan helped trigger Europe's terror alert. A front man for Germany's Federal Prosecutor's Office said Monday that a request for transfer of the 36-year-old German of Afghan descent has been filed. He declined to be named in line with department policy. Germany accuses Ahmad Wali Siddiqui, who was jugged by the US military in July in Afghanistan, of membership in a foreign terrorist organisation. Siddiqui is believed to have been part of the Hamburg jihad boy scene that also included key September 11 plotters. German officials have said he left Germany in March 2009 to seek paramilitary training in Pakistain's lawless border region. |
