BRIGHTON, England, Oct 1 (AFP) - Tony Blair is to warn Tuesday that an attack is imminent against the forces of Afghanistan's ruling Taliban militia and Osama bin Laden's training camps, said sources close the British prime minister on Monday. Blair was to reveal details of a US-led military offensive with possible British participation in a key speech he was to deliver Tuesday afternoon to the annual conference of his Labour Party in Brighton, southern England. "They (the Taliban) had the chance to surrender the terrorists (which they are harbouring) -- they chose not to," Blair will say, according to the sources. asia.dailynews.yahoo.com

That article also mentions the hijacker whose group killed a bunch of people including two Americans back in the 80's......had served 14 years in a Pakistani jail and was recently "released" (Question: Under Islamic of even Pakistani law, is the penalty for mass murder only 14 years?)....and apprehended by the U.S. and is being held in Alaska. They are being very hush hush about where and how they arrested this guy. But they did say they are holding him in Alaska currently. Now I am guessing he didn't get arrested while touring the national parks there......it looks like we have decided not to play nice with the formalities of exradition treaties, and instead are just sending crews around the world to capture these people and fly them here to face justice. It's about time.
