Update: Sept. 11 Suspect May Be Interrogated Overseas - U.S.
asia.reuters.com

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Suspected Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is expected to be turned over to U.S. authorities and interrogated in an undisclosed foreign country, a U.S. official said on Saturday.

Although Pakistan's information minister said that Mohammed, captured earlier in a joint Pakistan-CIA operation, would be extradited to the United States, the official told Reuters that was not the most likely plan.

He said the alleged al Qaeda operative was expected to be handed over to U.S. custody but was "unlikely" to be legally extradited to the United States. Instead, "he will probably go the route of other top al Qaeda leaders like Abu Zubaida," who was captured in Pakistan and has been interrogated by U.S. authorities at an undisclosed location overseas.

"There is a difference between U.S. custody and extradition," the official said. Extradition is a legal term implying that a suspect would be subject to U.S. laws and protections. The Bush administration has made clear its determination after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks to use extraordinary means if necessary to interrogate and bring to justice alleged "terrorist" suspects.
