The U.S. State Department is actively considering negotiations with the Egyptian government for the transfer of custody of Omar Abdel-Rahman, also known as “the Blind Sheikh,” for humanitarian and health reasons, a source close to the Obama administration told TheBlaze.
In case it’s not obvious, these prisoner transfers often don’t work out very well.
For what it’s worth (to my mind, just about nothing) the Justice Department denies the report. The State Department hasn’t responded to requests for comment.
