Omar al-Bayoumi
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what discussions her Department had with US counterparts on extraditing Omar al Bayoumi in 2001.
Answered by Dan Jarvis
The attacks on 9/11 were an appalling assault on freedom. The courage displayed by the American people in the aftermath and in the years since is extraordinary and our thoughts remain with the victims and survivors, as well as all who loved them.
It would be inappropriate to comment on an individual case. It is also long standing government policy, followed by successive governments, to neither confirm nor deny any extradition request in these circumstances.
