Wahabi Sunni Islamic extremists regard the USA as a den of evil. Of moral corruption. Of Imperialists whose presence on the holy soil of Arabia (under the Sauds) is an extreme offense.
Their interpretation of Islamic law creates a society totally different from the west. It is wrong for them to hand a muslim over to non-muslims.
With McVeigh it was cut and dried. US national commits crime on US soil, and is arrested in America.
Here we have forien national conspiring to a crime on US soil, but not something considered a crime in the land he is residing.
Big difference.
Enter the quagmire of international relations, and thus War as a solution of extreme last resort.
