Gee, whatta surprise:

Pakistanis find no evidence against ‘terror mastermind’

By GLEN OWEN

The Briton alleged to be the ‘mastermind’ behind the airline terror plot could be innocent of any significant involvement, sources close to the investigation claim.

Rashid Rauf, whose detention in Pakistan was the trigger for the arrest of 23 suspects in Britain, has been accused of taking orders from Al Qaeda’s ‘No3’ in Afghanistan and sending money back to the UK to allow the alleged bombers to buy plane tickets.

But after two weeks of interrogation, an inch-by-inch search of his house and analysis of his home computer, officials are now saying that his extradition is ‘a way down the track’ if it happens at all. </i>

Hey, but it served its purpose, right? Got us all hot and bothered about “TERROR!” again. Can’t underestimate the value of that.
