The White House announced that the United States handed over last Friday in their custody in Iraq to the Iraqi authorities after months of unsuccessful U.S. efforts to persuade Baghdad not to hand him over to Iraq because of the role of the suspect in the killing of Americans.
A spokesman for the National Security Council for the White House Tommy Vietor told Reuters that Washington was assured that Ali Musa Daqduq "suspected that he was working for the Party of God" will be tried for his crimes.
But the initial reaction from Congress was violent. MPs fear that Iraq will be unable or unwilling to hold Daqduq for a long time and many of them used words like "shameful" to describe the process of delivery. He accused Senator Chambliss Sakspaa Obama administration "to completely abandon the claim of responsibility for the detention of terrorists, murderers."
Daqduq faces charges of masterminding the kidnapping in 2007 that killed five U.S. military personnel and their fate has become a growing concern in Washington this year with the U.S. military prepares to withdraw at the end of 2011.
Indeed, it was the only Daqduq detainee who was captured by the U.S. military when he handed over all the others to the Iraqi authorities in November.
The Almsoalon Americans hoped to reach agreement at the last minute, something which did not materialize.
Vietor said, "was handed over to Iraq on Friday morning."
He added: "Our work for this at the highest levels of U.S. and Iraqi government and we continue discussions with the Iraqis on how best to ensure brought to justice." It was not clear whether the United States may be trying to win after holding Daqduq.
The delivery Daqduq "was born in Lebanon" to Iraq, one of the risks faced by the United States with the end of the war, which lasted for about nine years and the planned departure of all U.S. forces this month. He and lawmakers, including Sen. John McCain, for fear of a return to the battlefield Daqduq
