#2 A victim of too many Alan cartoons. One day he just flipped his lid and began walking North.

#3 The irony is that they are probably right, that he is an otherwise harmless kook. In the 3rd and 4th world, there are a LOT more of them wandering the streets than in the civilized world, with mental health care only for the wealthy.

Some local cop in his hometown probably saw his picture and said, "Hey, look! It's Harbi the kook!"

Given the embarassment associated with mental illness in most of the world, it is not the first choice as an alibi.

#4 Are there any Russians available to provide proper care as recognized by the UN?

#5 "Al-Harbi said he worked as a sheep merchant in Saudi Arabia..."

It doesn't pay all that well but the perks are outstanding.

#7 Cattle merchants and sheep herders connected to AQ? Seems like Belgian and Arabian horses were found to be drug mules by packing the kilos in their uteruses awhile back....Spain, I think. Then they had Saudi horses flown around by KLM, and denied US airspace enroute to Mexico City. I wonder if that is how they move drugs out of Afghanistan? Plastic explosives would also be fairly well protected in the womb. Keep this guy chirping. And what is the proper Iraqi medical treatment for mental illness? Beheading?
