How many are convicted terrorists though? It would be hard to even breathe internationally for someone with that on his record nevermind sneaking into countries.



Like usual you've missed the point i was trying to make, If he did attack again we could take away treaties and much needed relief from Nigeria for not preventing him from doing so. If he managed to kill the punishment would only be more severe for Nigeria. Also there could be potential sanctions from other countries, if citizens of other countries were injured or killed.

I didn't miss the point at all. I do see what you are saying but try rationalising that to the families of those 'he manages to kill'. You put that as if it is a minor, rather insignifant inconvenience. If he 'manages to kill' again - then, in my book, the responsibility lies on us for giving him that chance in the first place. The sanctions etc you mention are all well and good - but how realistic are they.

There are many countries that we don't have extradition treaties with who will not return citizens of their country to us to face charges for murder or other such crimes. Do they care about potential sanctions? They often have limited effect!
