Ex-bin Laden henchman freed from NJ prison after judge deems him too fat for jail

NYP: A former Osama bin Laden henchman convicted in two deadly 1998 bombings is free and living in the UK this week after being released early — thanks to a Manhattan federal judge who agreed the terrorist was way too obese to survive the coronavirus behind bars.

Adel Abdel Bary, 60, had spent 21 years in a New Jersey prison for his role in the 1998 al Qaeda bombings of two US embassies in Africa that killed 224 people, including 12 Americans.

“Defendant’s obesity and somewhat advanced age make COVID-19 significantly more risky to him than to the average person,” US District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan wrote in granting the release.

Bary had been set to be freed on Oct. 28, but his attorneys asked that he be let out sooner, citing their ­client’s age, girth and asthma. more

  1. Our only obligation is to get him half way there. Then off the ship/plane he goes. Oh, sorry, did we fail to mention when and where to his recipients… We’ll try to do better next time.

  2. Why the hell is this asshole still alive to be set free, anyways? Shoulda done like the Ruskies use to do: two rounds to the back of the head in a cellar, and send the family a bill to cover the cost of the ammo.

  3. …since I weigh more than that, does that mean they can’t keep me in jail if I were to do something unpleasant to liberals?

    …I’ma cite this as precedent if I DO…
