On April 11, Maswood was also stopped at Frankfurt Airport, Germany and told that his name was on 'No-fly List' and that he will be arrested upon his arrival at Chicago. Upon his arrival at Chicago airport, he was boarded off and questioned again.
Maswood, who as a businessman frequently travels abroad, faces severe difficulty in running his business due to his name on 'no-fly-list'
He must know John Edwards.
Lundgren (Anthrax death) was from Connecticut. Wonder exactly where this dude lived? Always thought she was a "person to person" hit, i.e., someone released it right before under her nose somehow. She only went to town on weekends but she was definitely a creature of habit just as the oddball case in NYC was.
MARCH 17, 2004 : (CT : NUCLEAR ENGINEER SYED R MASWOOD'S HOME IS RAIDED--- See BIF, BABAR AHMAD {Cousin of MOHAMMED NAEEM NOOR KHAN, FINSBURYPARKCELL}) Federal agents raided Maswood's home March 17, seizing computer equipment and financial records, he said. Investigators discovered his e-mail address among files used to maintain a Web site that funneled money and equipment to terrorists, according to the affidavit, which was unsealed Friday in New Haven as part of an international terrorism probe. From his home, Maswood runs North American Technical Services, which exports nuclear detection instruments, water treatment devices and environmental equipment to Middle East and Asian governments. --- "Feds Investigating Conn.

APRIL 2004 : (UK : CHICAGO SEARS TOWER PLOT {SEE APRIL 19, 2004} FOILED? -- See UK FERTILIZER BOMB / OSMIUM TETROXIDE PLOT, OTTAWA CANADA CELL {See M M KHAWAJA}) A plot by terrorists to use dirty bombs laced with the deadly chemical osmium tetroxide to attack U.S. targets including the Sears Tower in Chicago was uncovered by British intelligence and law enforcement authorities, according to a report in Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin. British police and military bomb experts passed on information to their U.S. counterparts. Traces of the chemical, as well as manuals for its use, were discovered by the British intelligence community during raids following the March Madrid attack.
A number of intelligence and security agencies include osmium tetroxide in their list of dangerous materials. It can be purchased in a gel-like form in small quantities. It is mainly used for laboratory experiments. The gel is highly toxic and can be developed into a coating element for bomb parts, or into an aerosol.
Though it is not clear from the sources that al-Qaida was behind the plot, Osama bin Laden's network had previously eyed the Sears Tower as a target, following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
...Following 9-11, about $6.5 million was invested to improve the building's security, including more digital cameras, tightly controlled access requiring a security-approved card to get through turnstiles, additional security officers and improved communications with government and outside agencies. ...
The terrorist group's operations chief, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, told interrogators that al-Qaida's follow-up attacks in the Midwest and West Coast were thwarted by the intensity of the U.S. response to the strikes on the World Trade Center in New York City and on the Pentagon.
Mohammed said he and his nephew, Ramzi Yousuf, who was behind the first World Trade Center bombing a decade ago, had identified the targets through almanacs of American buildings. "We were looking for symbols of economic might," he told interrogators. ...
A plan to launch a chemical attack in Britain had also been prevented.

AUGUST 2004 first week : (FINSBURY PARK CELL'S BABAR AHMAD {COUSIN OF MOHAMMED NAEEM NOOR KHAN} IS CHARGED -- See CT NUKE ENGINEER MASWOOD, CHECHNYA, BIF {ILLINOIS CELL}) Federal agents last week charged British computer specialist Babar Ahmad with running a fund-raising site for Islamic militants. While dissecting Ahmad's computer files, investigators say they discovered an e-mail seeking help getting money to Islamic rebels in Chechnya. They traced that e-mail to Maswood. The married father of three said he never offered to aid Chechen rebel leaders but said he may have asked how he could help the humanitarian effort in the area.
U.S. ...[ICE] agents also discovered that Maswood donated more than $10,000 to the Benevolence International Foundation, an Illinois-based charity accused of supporting terrorism. But Maswood said the charity is one of many he has supported for humanitarian purposes, including Christian relief efforts. He said investigators seized evidence of those donations during the raid.
Before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Benevolence International had been given IRS tax-exempt status. "If you're claiming that BIF was a terrorist organization, why did the IRS issue them a tax ID number and allow them to solicit donations from all over the country?" Maswood said.
A federal law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said last week that investigators are poring over the e-mail addresses uncovered in the [Babar] Ahmad case, trying to determine who wanted to provide humanitarian aid and who wanted to support terrorism.... ..... While federal investigators did not name Maswood in the affidavit, they confirmed that a search warrant was executed in Cromwell. --- "Feds Investigating Conn.

AUGUST 6, 2004 : (NOOR KHAN WAS WORKING UNDER COVER [AND WAS EXPOSED BY LEAK TO NY TIMES DOUG JEHL]) Al-Qaida suspect was secretly cooperating with counterrorist sting ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - The al-Qaida suspect named by U.S. officials as the source of information that led to this week’s terrorist alerts was working undercover, Pakistani intelligence sources said Friday, putting an end to the sting operation and forcing Pakistan to hide the man in a secret location.
Under pressure to justify the alerts in three Northeastern cities, U.S. officials confirmed a report by The New York Times that the man, Mohammad Naeem Noor Khan, was the source of the intelligence that led to the decision.
A Pakistani intelligence source told Reuters on Friday that Khan, who was arrested in Lahore secretly last month, had been actively cooperating with intelligence agents to help catch al-Qaida operatives when his name appeared in U.S. newspapers.
