HTN: FBI Says Lackawanna Case Still On Front Burner

The Lackawanna Six terrorist case has not been forgotten by FBI Director Robert Mueller. Mueller was in Buffalo Thursday receiving briefings on cases underway in the Western New York area. Jaber Elbaneh is accused of being one of the leaders and recruiters of six Lackawanna men who were put behind bars for attending Al-Qaeda training camps in 2001. Mueller says Elbaneh is in his native country of Yemen and is listed as one of the world's 24 most wanted terrorists. Yemen has refused to extradite him to the US. A five-million dollar reward is being offered for his capture.
