FBI Informant Warns So-Called Blind Sheik 'Will Kill Americans' -- NBC
An FBI informant who has helped catch some of the world's most dangerous terrorists is coming out of witness protection to warn that a terrorist sheik in prison remains a significant threat to the U.S.
Emad Salem is urging the U.S. to keep the ailing 74-year-old sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, often known as the Blind Sheik, behind bars and to not transfer him, even as governments overseas continue to press for his release.
"He will kill Americans," said Salem. "He will kill anyone who disputes what he says with a fatwa."
Salem, a one-time Egyptian military officer, had warned officials about the looming 1993 World Trade Center bombing, but his warnings were ignored after a lie-detector test was inconclusive and he said he would never testify at any trial.

Update #2: FBI Informant Concerned Over Jailed Blind Sheik -- Long Island
My Comment: There are many who are pushing hard to release the blind sheik .... including Egyptian President Morsi who vowed on his first day in office that he would do everything in his power to free the "Blind Sheik'. Bottom line .... the Blind Sheik is a convicted mass murderer whose only regret is that he was not successful in killing more. And for those who are advocating that he should be released .... I say ____-it.
Update: It figures that this is making the news today .... on the 20th anniversary of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
