The raid that resulted in the capture of al-Qaeda operations chief Khalid Shaikh Mohammed also netted Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi, the alleged financier of the Sept. 11 attacks, two senior U.S. government sources said Monday. Al-Hawsawi, 34, is identified as a "supporting conspirator" in the indictment of accused terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person charged in the USA in the attacks.
