Egyptian President Morsi: I Want Abdel-Rahman to Be Free
(CNN) Wolf Blitzer - In an exclusive one-hour interview, Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi revealed his plans to visit the U.S. before the end of the first quarter of this year. Blitzer asked the Egyptian president about Omar Abdel-Rahman, the blind Egyptian cleric who is serving a life sentence in the U.S. for his connection with the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. "I want him to be free but I respect the law and the rule of law in Egypt and the United States," Morsi said, adding that he will discuss the issue with President Obama when they meet.
