I found this old article doing research on one
Abdul Rehman who it seems was the one who lead to the capture of Khaild Shiekh Mohammed. I found this passage in an AP article HAL9000 posted today.
Security officials, also speaking on condition they not be named, said the trail heated up after authorities arrested an Egyptian man during a raid in the frontier city of Quetta on Feb. 14. Authorities had hoped to find Mohammed -- a top al-Qaida figure with links to a decade of deadly plots -- but he was not there.
"At the time of that raid in Quetta the authorities were looking for Khalid Shaikh but he escaped and from there they followed him to Rawalpindi," the senior government official said. "They got information from the man they picked up in Quetta and from phone calls until they tracked him down to Rawalpindi."
A top police official in Quetta said the arrested suspect changed his story many times during questioning, but finally identified himself as Abdul Rehman from Egypt. The official said police were aware that another suspect got away, but were not told of his significance. The police later handed Rehman over to Pakistan's intelligence agency, known as ISI.
"We got some information about two foreigners who were in the neighborhood. When we went there we found only one," the official said. "Rehman admitted there was someone else with him, but he never said anything about Khalid Shaikh Mohammed."

Similarly, Rehman appears stunned upon hearing the news that Mullah Muhammad Omar, the supreme Taliban leader, has surrendered the city of Kandahar. "I don't believe this; I am sure this has not happened," he says, sitting up suddenly. Similarly, he denies that US troops could have set up a base south of the city. "American movies, like Mr. Rambo, these movies affect too much the American mind," he warns. "They try to say to everybody, 'We have the power to do anything. If you hide anyplace in the world, we are seeing you.' The Taliban will never give up. They are fighting until the death."the typical Koran-spouting, virgin-fantasizing, reality-challenged publicity-seeking nutjob terrorist.

"I will say just one word to you: Get out of my face, now!" says Abdul Rehman, an Arab Unless the bold portion is a translation from "one word", ol' Abdul is a few digits short on his math skills.
Might be one reason he helped drop the dime on Khalid. Those elite Al Qaeda warriors of Allah just ain't what their Al Jazeera press clippings claim them to be.

"I will say just one word to you: Get out of my face, now!" says Abdul Rehman, an Arab Taliban fighter, from his hospital bed here. Injured last week during the air attacks on Kandahar, Afghanistan, his tone is matter-of-fact, his English near-perfect.
"I hate you; you are my enemy. There is only one conversation between me and you. This is a war conversation, a killing conversation, and you started this war."
I would not wish to fight the United States either militarily, politically, or culturally. For every threat, our history teaches us that Americans offer not just a rejoinder, but the specter of a devastating answer of a magnitude almost inconceivable to those now chanting and threatening in the streets of the Middle East. Do they have any idea of what sort of dangerous people we really are? Do they understand the history of the names of those ships now off their coasts, like the USS Peleliu or Enterprise, or the pedigree of the 82nd or 101st Airborne?

Quote from Mr. Rehman...
"American movies, like Mr. Rambo, these movies affect too much the American mind," he warns. "They try to say to everybody, 'We have the power to do anything. If you hide anyplace in the world, we are seeing you.'"

"I began to ask, why are all these Muslims killed, and why are the Christians always ending up on top?" he says. "I started to study and to ask, and I discovered that your culture was built on blood."He asks the right questions but has discovered the wrong answers.
Our culture was built on the concepts of individual freedom, free will, respect for the individual and the bedrock of God-given rights and precepts. That basis comes from the Bible, rather than the Koran.
That's why you're the losers and we're the winners, Abdul. You're getting your information and directions from the wrong Book!

Good research. My take is Abdul Rehman from Egypt was severely questioned until he spilled the beans. His loudmouth arrogance was broken

you know, till I got to the very end of the article I was thinking: If I caught a cockroach in my kitchen would I bother to talk to him? Would I sit there and let him/her (no bias here) tell me about how perverted I am for having hot and cold running water? How he/her would destroy me because allah the king of all cockroaches, praise be his name, said I am no good; no debate, no mistake. Allah the head cockroach has declared it so and therefore my death shall serve as a passport to some sort of 72 bug (give or take a few) orgy?
It wasn't till the end that I THINK it's possible this vermon may have been instrumental in bringing down #3 that it may be usefull to pull the legs off these creeps one at a time instead of just squishing them with our expensive leather footwear.
