| Pakistan Army troops have found a passport of a member of Hamburg cell, a group of radical Islamists known to have plotted the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States, in northwestern Pakistan, DawnNews reported Thursday. The Pakistan troops advancing to South Waziristan for an offensive against Taliban seized the passport of Said Bahaji, a German of Moroccan origin, in a village near the Afghan border on Oct. 17, the television report said. According to the passport, Said Bahaji entered Pakistan via Karachi International Airport on Sept. 4, 2001 -- a week before the terror attacks in the United States. Said Bahaji, born to a Moroccan father and a German mother, was a member of Hamburg cell, which is believed to have provided logistic and financial support to the hijackers of the Sept. 11 attacks. He has been on the wanted list of the United States in connection with the attacks and his link with al-Qaida. |
