News to watch:

I highly recomend that my readers follow the story of Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, as this case will prove to be most interesting, as well as test the limits of international cooperation as it relates to prosecution of terrorists.

Background:
Ahmed Omar Abu Ali was detained in Saudi Arabia for around two years based on accusations (and subsequent Saudi investigations) of connection to Al Qaeda operatives in the kingdom. During the course of this investigation it was discovered that Abu Ali may have been involved in a plot to assasinate the President of the United States. Abu Ali, a US citizen and a valedictorian of his class at the Saudi Islamic Institute (a Saudi funded wahabi leaning school in Northern Virginia) was returned to the United States and charged with attempting to provide material support to terrorists, and several other counts.

Those should provide a well balanced background. Again, this may prove to be an interesting case, either based on the information that comes to light as a result of it (details about the level of cooperation between US and foreign governments in the War on Terror), or in watching a terrorist face American justice.
