Reuters reports that France, under previous treaties with the U.S., may seek Moussaoui’s transfer to a French prison:

France could at some stage ask the United States to allow Zacarias Moussaoui to serve his life prison sentence in a French jail, the Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.

Moussaoui, a 37-year old French citizen of Moroccan origin, was jailed for life by a U.S. jury on Wednesday for his role in the September 11 2001 attacks on the United States.

France and the United States signed two agreements in the 1980s about the transfer of convicts and Moussaoui’s mother Aisha el Wafi and his lawyer have asked that the Frenchman be allowed to serve his sentence in his home country.

“A possible demand for transferring Zacarias Moussaoui could be looked at within this framework,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Jean-Baptiste Mattei said at an electronic press briefing.

Yes, as we know how good France is at keeping terrorists under wraps, right? It took them practically no time to release captured terrorist Abu Daoud, mastermind of the Olympic massacre at Munich.

So, how ’bout it France? You looking for a fight from Americans? Drop the matter, before we drop you, you know you don’t have the stomach for a fight! Like Hulk Hogan would say, “Whaccha gonna do when America runs wild on you?”

Oh, yeah.
