[history]
Terror investigators hunting the London bombing mastermind are to question a suspected Al Qaeda planner held in Pakistan.
British-born Haroon Rashid Aswad(Aswat) was seized at a religious school with a suicide bomb belt, explosives and GBP 13,000 in cash.
Security sources in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, claim he had up to 20 telephone conversations with London bombers Mohammad Sidique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer. One of these is believed to have been just hours before the blasts.
The UK's DAILY MAIL reports on Thursday: Security sources say he trained at an Afghan camp which was visited by Osama Bin Laden and that he is linked to two of Bin Laden's planners and an Al Qaeda suspect held in America.
U.S. investigators have been told that Aswad attended the Khalden camp in Afghanistan, favoured by foreign terror trainees. British shoe bomber Richard Reid is among those who attended the camp and it has been reported that London bomber Khan also went there.

The Aswad is familiar. The Haroon is not.

Someone tell me why we aren't getting Osama!
Actually, I heard that those Navy Seals were getting close to him when that chopper went down in Afghanistan.

Most likely before the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Air Force turned him into a maggot factory in Tora Bora.

It is so confusing when they refer to these guys as Britons. I click on the stories, expecting to see names like Billy Bragg or somesuch. Why don't they just say "second generation Paki" in the headlines? Would save a click wasted.
To: Dog
Good catch! I'm usually pretty good at remembering names.
I'm impressed.

You mean that this big, brave 'warrior' didn't pull the trigger on his bomb belt when arrested?

I was in Salisbury ... didn't see a single muzzie there. Heathrow had plenty, though.
On a totally unrelated note:
The first guy who tried to pick me up was a "Mohammed."
Please tell me you're a lady.

"the media is spelling his last name wrong."
I see that. He's been mentioned in at least 3 articles posted here today.
That's what I get for being away for a few hrs.

"The Great Escape" Excellent movie. Too bad Steve McQueen couldn't clear the razor wire with his motorcycle. Its been a while since I have seen that movie. I think only two of them escaped.

holy smokes! if this b*stard was in America, the ACLU would be kissing his behind. Maybe the Brits will show some mettle. This guy could lead them to the Turbaned One.
