| In one room in an al-Qaeda Kabul safe house lay business cards marked "4-U Enterprises--Amr H. Hamed" with an address in British Columbia, Canada. A British newspaper has identified Hamed as a suspect in the 1998 bombings of two U.S. Embassies in Africa. He is reported to have died in retaliatory U.S. missile strikes on Afghanistan that same year. 4-U Enterprises was incorporated in 1998 and appears to be a shell company operating through a rented post office box at a British Columbia convenience store. Hamed and Essam Marzouk, an Egyptian and Islamic Jihad member linked to bin Laden, are listed as directors. Marzouk left Canada in 1998 and was extradited later to Egypt, where he is serving a 15-year jail sentence for terrorism activities. |
