Trucker nabbed in U.S. Al-Qaeda Bust
Federal agents have nabbed an Ohio truck driver after unmasking him as an al Qaeda operative in plots to collapse a suspension bridge and blow up an airliner in the United States. In a major intelligence breakthrough, captured al Qaeda leader Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who has been spilling to the feds ever since he was seized in Pakistan March 1, fingered the truck driver, Newsweek reports. The unidentified driver told his interrogators that he was ordered by his al Qaeda bosses to obtain tools that could be used to loosen bolts on a suspension bridge. The driver also revealed a plan, possibly using cargo trucks, to drive under the belly of a passenger jet without causing suspicion and blow it up. So Khalid serves up the little fishes along with his lies Posted by: Frank G 2003-05-26 |
