| French sources said Reid spent 10 days in Israel in July of this year, and went on from there to Cairo. From Cairo he visited Turkey, from where he went to Pakistan in August and made his unsuccessful attempt to enter Afghanistan. The report did not say why Reid would have failed to get into Afghanistan. After his stay in Pakistan he returned to Europe, going first to Amsterdam, where he was based, and then to Brussels, where he obtained the new British passport that he used to take the Paris-Miami flight last weekend. The shoe bombs (The thought makes my arches hurt!) were picked up in Amsterdam. |
