Kansi has been delivered abroad by Afghan individuals to the custody of United States authorities. He has been transported to the United States where he will face trial in Fairfax, Virginia. Kansi's arrest is another significant accomplishment in our unceasing effort to combat terrorism both here and abroad.
Today marks a clear triumph of good over evil.
Tenet and Esposito pledged that the ongoing coordinated effort to combat terrorism both here and abroad will continue in order to protect the lives of American citizens. Kansi's apprehension demonstrates that terrorists have no refuge among civilized nations and that we will mount a relentless pursuit to find U.S. fugitives and bring them to justice no matter where they may hide. Tenet and Esposito expressed their gratitude for the tireless efforts of the men and women of the FBI's Washington Field Office, the Hostage Rescue Team, the FBI Legal Attaches abroad, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Department of Justice, the Department of State, the Department of Defense, the Fairfax County Police Department, and the Fairfax County District Attorney's Office.
