NEW YORK (AP) -- A Lebanese-born Swede suspected of plotting to set up a terrorist camp in Oregon was extradited to the United States on Tuesday.

Oussama Kassir was taken to FBI offices for fingerprinting and processing after arriving on a flight from Prague. Federal prosecutors were expected to discuss the case later in the day.

Kassir was arrested on Dec. 11, 2005, at Prague's Ruzyne international airport in the Czech Republic while flying from Sweden to Lebanon. The United States requested his extradition, and Czech Justice minister Jiri Pospisil ruled on Sept 18 there was no reason to refuse the request.

1. Bly, Oregon

Yep, a very tiny blink on a two-lane highway in the middle of nowhere.

I have driven through Bly many times on my way from Medford, Oregon (SW Oregon) to yet another tiny town of Lakeview and points beyond.

God's country, really, with open sky and high desert views.

A place to go to unwind, but not to learn terror.
