A Kosovo Albanian wanted stateside on charges of conspiracy to provide support to terrorists "lives openly" in a Kosovo town. Reuters news agency reports that the United States considers "lumberjack Bajram Aslani" one of its most wanted men but, "because of Kosovo's unusual international status", it is unable to have him extradited and interrogated. Man wanted by U.S. "lives openly in Kosovo" Unlike others on the FBI most wanted list, says the report, Aslani is "not hiding out in a distant desert or rugged mountain range". He lives with his family next door to a United Nations building, "and on a typical day prays in a local mosque and greets police officers when he goes shopping". The agency describes Kosovo's legal system as "hybrid and weak", where EU judges deal with major terrorism and war crimes cases. “We continue to seek his prosecution in the United States,” U.S. Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd was quoted. The report adds that a Serbian court sentenced Aslani in absentia in 2009 to eight years in prison for selling weapons to Islamic militants - "a charge he denies". He also denies the U.S. accusations against him, and considers himself "a victim of secret services". Aslani was arrested in June, but EU judges set him free, saying that Americans had not provided sufficient grounds to support their case, and cited the absence of an extradition accord between Washington and Pristina, Reuters reports.
