The Other 9/11

It's hard to know what to make of this story. Someone was just convicted in India of being part of a plot to hyjack two planes and crash them into London landmarks on September 11, 2001.

AN INDIAN man was jailed in Bombay yesterday for plotting to fly passenger jets into the House of Commons and Tower Bridge in London on September 11, 2001.

Mohammed Afroze was sentenced to seven years after he admitted that he had a role in an al-Qaeda plot to attack London, the Rialto Towers building in Melbourne and the Indian Parliament.

[...] Afroze admitted that he and seven al-Qaeda operatives planned to hijack aircraft at Heathrow and fly them into the two London landmarks. The suicide squad included men from Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Pakistan, Afroze said. They booked seats on two Manchester-bound flights, but fled just before they were due to board.

Here's the part that makes me wonder:

Mr Solker said that police from Britain, Australia and the US had been to India to see evidence against Afroze, but had not requested extradition.
