Pakistan to demand bin Laden handover

<< CNN learned Sunday that Pakistan will threaten massive military action led by the United States unless Kabul complies. U.S. President George W. Bush has characterized bin Laden as the "prime suspect" in Tuesday's attacks.

The head of Pakistan's intelligence is likely to travel to Afghanistan in the next 24 hours carrying this message to the Taliban supreme leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar. (Full story)

In the United States, worship services Sunday were expected to center on the tragedy that left thousands dead or missing, damaged the nation's military headquarters and toppled the massive twin towers of New York's World Trade Center.

Several blocks from there, a passport authorities said belonged to one of the hijackers was discovered Saturday. That has prompted the FBI and police to widen the search area beyond the immediate crash site. A second person whom authorities were seeking as a material witness in the attacks was arrested Saturday and held in FBI custody in New York, a Justice Department official said.

Don't believe it. Pakistan is well known for playing the US. They've done it before. They have no intention of pressuring anyone to give up Bin Laden or anyone else for that matter. They support him financially. It's just that they've got to play this off to keep the US off its back.

I dont understand the point of this. If Bush is going to keep his words - US will punish all of them anyways.

So why would they hand him over if they're still going to get their @$$ kicked?
