The suspect, whose name was withheld, has been in custody for several weeks and was quizzed about aspects of the so-called Millennium plot -- calculated to spread terror in the days before and after the start of the new century...

The plot was foiled when its mastermind, Ahmed Ressam, was arrested in Washington state in December 1999 while trying to enter from Canada in a car with a trunkful of explosives.

Heh-heh, these guys weren't so bright. The new century began January 1, 2001.
