At the time Sattar was arrested, I did some searching, and it seemed to me that Sattar may have been bankrolling Islamic safe-houses. It seemed like he had numerous residences and telephone numbers in his name. Sometimes multiple phones even at the same address. It just seemed too odd.

And Satar had connections to the assassins of Massoud.
It is my bet that Almasri was also connected to that murder, and could be the reason the FBI is searching his place in Florida. (I just don't believe in coincidences)
