I hope thats not the case.
And this whole "we will find him and bring him to justice" from the state department is BS. If the US cant find Osama, a 6'6" arab who walks with a limp and is on dyalasis, they aint no way they gonna find this dude.

That's complete bullshit. They rejected our request for extradition to save the asses of 2 businessmen. Then they gave the guy the option of parole after 15 years. Give me a fucking break. And when we were trying to bring him over to the US, they rejected because we support the death penalty.
We even asked Lebanon to extradite him even though there isn't a treaty with that government.
"The American officials said they were aware that Mr. Hamadi would be granted a parole hearing at some point this year and had sought discussions with German security officials over the possibility of turning him over to the United States in the event he was released. But Mr. Hamadi flew to Lebanon before any agreement was reached, the officials said, adding that German officials had long expressed reservations about handing Mr. Hamadi over to the United States, where he might face the death penalty.
After Mr. Hamadi was arrested in Germany in 1987, the United States requested his extradition but Germany, worried about the fate of two German businessmen who had been kidnapped in Lebanon, rejected the request.
Instead, Mr. Hamadi was put on trial in Frankfurt in 1989, found guilty of Mr. Stethem's murder, and sentenced to the maximum under the law of what was then West Germany, life in prison with the possibility of parole after 15 years"
