No terrorism case against Briton
From Times Wire Reports
Terrorism charges were dropped against a suspect labeled as a key figure in an alleged plot to blow up jets flying from London to the United States this summer.
A judge in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, ruled that the case against Rashid Rauf, a British Muslim of Pakistani origin, did not “fall in the category of terrorism,” and transferred the case to a regular criminal court, an official said.
Rauf now faces charges of possessing explosives and forging travel and identity documents.
