This was the cell who were originally thought to be handlers for a dirty bomb that was supposed to come over the border from Canada.
That's interesting. Check this out- two "Buffalo cell" related escapees getting away in two different countries:
JULY 10, 2005 : (BAGRAM, AFGHANISTAN : OMAR AL FAROUK ESCAPES FROM PRISON-- See BUFFALO CELL, BLEEDINGHEARTATTACK, ESCAPEES) Omar al-Farouq was one of Osama bin Laden's top lieutenants in Southeast Asia until Indonesian authorities captured him in the summer of 2002 and turned him over to the United States. A Pentagon official in Washington confirmed Tuesday evening that al-Farouq escaped from a U.S. detention facility in Bagram, Afghanistan, on July 10. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information. Pentagon: Top al-Qaida operative escaped ap on Yahoo ^ | 11/01/05 | Alicia A. Caldwell - ap
FEBRUARY 2006 : (YEMEN : JABER ELBANEH ESCAPES FROM PRISON -- See BUFFALO CELL, AL FAROUK TRAINING CAMP) BUFFALO, N.Y. - An American wanted for allegedly training with the "Lackawanna Six" at an al-Qaida camp was among the 23 men who tunneled out of a Yemeni prison last week, the FBI confirmed Friday. Authorities earlier said they believed Jaber Elbaneh, 39, was probably among the escapees, but were not certain because of conflicting information, including a posting by the international police organization Interpol that pictured Elbaneh but described someone else. Elbaneh is charged in Buffalo with providing material support to al-Qaida by attending the al-Farooq training camp run by Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan months before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. ----------FBI: American Among Escapees From Yemen (allegedly trained w/"Lackawanna Six"), AP on Yahoo ^ | 2/10/06 | Carolyn Thompson -ap
