Take the following possible scenario:
- American troops arrested key leaders in the Al-Qaeda network in Pakistan. Among the captured included Osama, and Ayman al Zwahri.
- Then Pakistani forces somewhat loyal to the Islamist movement claimed jurisdiction and placed the leaders under Pakistani arrest/protection.
The US want to extract the leaders for a trial, but religious leaders in Pakistan don't want them released without a guarantee of a fair trial.
1. What could we do to convince them to give us the al-Qaeda leaders? (special ops is out of the question, economic incentives? help from international org?)
2. Where would we try them? (American court? UN international court? EU court?)
3. Once we choose where to try them, what can we actually charge them with? (Piracy?)
Pakistan receives almost 1 billion dollars in aid annually. Pakistan fears that their temporary alliance will go away once bin laden has been captured.
Does anyone have a viable policy/solution to do this?
