Securing the arrest and extradition of Haroon Rashid Aswat was a prolonged process. Aswat had tried to set up a terrorist training camp in Oregon. Then he left the UK quickly after the 7/7 bombings in London and after having ties to the bombers of that bloody atrocity.
The UK got him shortly extradited afterwards. Then the US spent the next 9 years trying to get him extradited to America. (The effort began under the Bush admin and the Obama admin, which was otherwise trying to release every Gitmo terrorist it could was probably not paying attention.)
He was sentenced to 20 years in prison right before Trump took office which should have meant that he should still have plenty of time to work off.
And then something strange happened. Biden sent him back.
Why? There’s no explanation as to why Asawt, who should have been on year 7 of his sentence, was sent to the UK in 2022. There were claims that his time locked up in the UK was counted against his sentence, but counting detention abroad (caused by leftist lawyers trying to use every scheme to save Aswat) against a sentence is non-standard.
An official statement just said, “Mr. Aswat, who sought to train future al-Qaeda members and provided material support to terrorist organizations around the globe, has been successfully turned over to authorities in the UK.”
And you can guess what the UK, where justice was previously handled by Shabana Mahmood and who is now heading up national security and law enforcement, did with him.
A terrorist who bragged about helping Osama bin Laden mastermind the 9/11 attacks could be freed from a UK prison within days — despite officials declaring him a “risk to national security.”
Haroon Aswat — who previously set up an al-Qaeda training camp in the US — is set to be released from a secure psychiatric hospital unit where he’s currently locked up in the UK after he completes mental health treatment, The Sun reported.
“In March 2017 the defendant stated, ‘if you think I am a terrorist, I don’t shy away from my responsibility’ and also stated he was a mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks and a 2005 terrorist attack in the UK,” the court papers stated.
These days that sort of attitude in the UK makes you a national hero.
In a transcript of the High Court case obtained by The Sun, Mr Justice Jay told Aswat “it could not have been too pleasant being in American custody all that time.”
“I have to wish you all the best,” the judge said.
I’m sure it’ll all work out for the best. Someone’s best. Likely Aswat’s best. And the worst for the UK since Asat was “still reportedly threatening to kill Christians, Jews” in 2022 but that’s a whole 3 years ago so why worry.

After a Muslim terrorist murdered three little girls, Mahmood, in her role as ‘Justice Secretary’ cheered as 500 prison cells described as “inhumane” were prepared for protesters against Islamic colonization and terrorism. Criminals were released to make room for those who had spoken out against the horrifying Islamic atrocity against English children.
Mahmood then visited a mosque and bragged of sending protesters against the Muslim murder of children to prison for years “within a week” and of show trials “broadcast” live and of “working through day and night” to find prison cells for political opponents.
