The U.S. State Department is actively considering negotiations with the Egyptian government for the transfer of custody of Omar Abdel-Rahman, also known as âthe Blind Sheikh,â for humanitarian and health reasons, a source close to the the Obama administration told TheBlaze. The Department of Justice, however, told TheBlaze that Rahman is serving a life sentence and is not considered for possible ârelease.â Previous calls to the State Department were referred to the Department of Justice and so far, the State Department has neither confirmed nor denied the report. Glenn Beck revealed the controversial news on his show Monday. The Blind Sheikh is currently serving a life sentence in American prison for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, but the newly-elected Islamist government in Egypt has been actively petitioning his release. Many have pinpointed a cause of last weekâs unrest in in the country to be protests over the Blind Sheikhâs release â not an anti-Muslim YouTube video. Citing the handling of the current crisis in the Middle East, and the administrationâs explanation that an anti-Islamic video is to blame, Beck warned that the administration may be trying to initiate a âBubba effect.â âIf this is trueâ¦I believe this administration is trying to initiate a âBubba effect,ââ he explained. âThat is, the average person turning against the government, collectivelyâ¦because no one trusts them.â http://www.theblaze.com/stories/sou...n-in-talks-to-transfer-blind-sheikh-to-egypt/
