Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Linked to Bosnian Islamists
2004-11-24
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the reported "mastermind" of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, was integrally linked into the Bosnia al-Qaida terrorist hub. Defense & Foreign Affairs Daily reports today that extremely reliable Global Information Service (GIS) sources have produced definitive evidence of the link ("Al-Qaida Leader Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's Bosnian Links Emerging," November 24, 2004). Specifically, GIS sources reveal that Khalid Sheik Hohammed, born in Kuwait on October 22, 1966, was in Bosnia as a first member of the El-Mudzahid unit and then became a member, in 1966, of Egyptian Islamist radical operations. He obtained a Bosnian citizenship certificate in 1994 (Sarajevo Police No. 09/2-204-108 dated April 30, 1994) and a Bosnian passport soon thereafter.

You are right. I was tired when I first posted this. Make that Global Information System.

#5  Though Defense & Foreign Affairs claims to have documentation of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's birth in Kuwait, no mention is made of Laurie Mylroie's contention that the Kuwaiti documents on KSM and his "nephew" Ramzi Yousef were forgeries designed to set up a false identity.

#3  Sorry -- that second '1966' should be '1996'. He became a member, in 1996, of Egyptian Islamist radical operations.

#2  Fred, I demand that you remove my photo from this story forthwith. Make porn, not war.

#1  Hmm, he was born in 1966 and became a member of "Egyptian Islamist radical operations" that same year. Pretty precocious! He must have had a hell of a time holding his AK-47, though.
