Very good find, bookmarked for future reference. Thanks a bunch.
You ladies are a class act.
Thanks for all your hard work.
God Bless.
I'd bet it's because he's showing up in the captured data as well as testimony from former panty-heads.
We'll miss you JP and Kinetic.
Your talents, energy and perserverance will be sorely missed.
I think you are correct...
Info on him was almost certainly in Khan's computer. There was a story that he was one of the men who cased the buildings on high alert.
If only we knew the whole story.
I'll give you that one. LOL
[Excerpt]
The father of an alleged Al-Qaeda computer expert has filed a lawsuit in a Pakistani court challenging what he called the illegal detention of his son, who was captured last month, a defence lawyer said.
Mohammed Naeem Noor Khan was captured by Pakistani intelligence agents July 13 during a raid in the eastern city of Lahore, and a search of his computers uncovered surveillance documents of five financial institutions in the United States, prompting a terror alert in three US cities this month.
Later, Khan led police to an hide-out of Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, a Tanzanian Al-Qaeda wanted for the 1998 bombings of two US embassies in east Africa.

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan published pictures of six 'most-wanted terrorists' yesterday and offered rewards for information leading to the arrest of two Al-Qaeda-linked militants wanted over assassination attempts on President Pervez Musharraf.
In an advertisement printed on the front page of two leading newspapers, the government said the identity of informants would be kept secret and published two toll-free telephone numbers and e-mail addresses.
Five of the suspects were Pakistani and one a Libyan, and the list appeared to feature militants wanted for attacks and crimes inside Pakistan as opposed to terrorism overseas.
The advertisement gave no details about the nature of charges against the men, and only said they are 'most-wanted terrorists' who are 'wanted for acts of terrorism'.
Since his picture has been posted, I imagine we won't see him again, at least not more than once in one piece.
[Excerpt]
A Muslim who worked at a subsidiary of Sears said he was repeatedly called "bin Laden," "Taliban" and "terrorist," then was fired after he complained.
Belal Degedeh, who is of Jordanian and Palestinian origin, filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday charging he was discriminated against for his ancestry and religion.
Degedeh worked for Sears Logistics Services Inc. as a merchandise distributor. He claims as he unloaded trucks at a receiving dock, co-workers asked him if he was going to blow up the building and whether he had a bomb. When he told another co-worker he was from Palestine, Degedeh said he was asked: "Is that where the crazy Muslims are blowing themselves up?
Time to check the father's computer too.
I do hope you will continue to post. I look forward to it.
Thank you and your daughter for all your hard work. If you get a second wind, come back.
God Bless you and keep you in His arms.
Well at least they didn't make him put panties on his head.
Zebra Zorro then, huh?
Border alert for terror suspect outdated, FBI says
Adnan G. El Shukrijumah has been wanted by the United States since 2003.

An FBI spokeswoman in Arizona said news reports that a notorious terrorism suspect may be planning to cross the Mexican border into the United States are overblown and outdated.
Several publications reported Wednesday on an FBI alert about Adnan El Shukrijumah, thought to be an al-Qaida cell leader.
But special agent Susan Herskovits said the story is based on speculation stemming from old and unverified intelligence.
Months ago, Herskovits said, investigators received an unconfirmed report that Shukrijumah had been sighted in Honduras. Based on that information - and the fear that he might try to enter the United States to carry out a terrorist attack - there was speculation that he could mingle with Hispanic immigrants crossing the Arizona or Texas border.
So the FBI, which has spread a wide net in the hunt for Shukrijumah, issued a bulletin to law enforcement officials along the Mexican border.
"It's not new,'' Herskovits said Wednesday. "We've had three 'be-on-the-lookouts' alerts for this guy (since March){ellipsis} And it's not like the sighting in Honduras was even verified.''
Shukrijumah, described as a pilot and bombmaker, was among several suspected al Qaida figures who met in Pakistan during March, according to Los Angeles Times and other publications. Pakistani officials said that meeting also was attended by Osama bin Laden lieutenant Abu Eisa al Hindi, and communications engineer Mohammed Naeem Noor Khan, whose computer discs allegedly contained surveillance reports for a planned attack on buildings in the United States and Britain.
Attorney General John Ashcroft recently singled out Shukrijumah as one of seven especially dangerous international terror figures wanted by the government. A $5 million reward has been issued for information leading to his capture.
Shukrijumah, a 29-year-old Arab-American who suffers from asthma, reportedly was born in Guyana, raised in south Florida and speaks fluent English. The son of a radical Muslim cleric who recently died in Florida, he also is known by several aliases and nicknames, including "Jaffar the Pilot.''
Newsweek magazine said authorities have been hunting Shukrijumah since al Qaida's attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. With no solid leads, counter-terrorism agents began trying to smoke him out with publicity.
Besides the alert along Mexico's border, FBI agents have warned that he might attempt to enter the United States via Canada, or might return to Florida. They also asked officials in Guyana to help locate him.
A Spanish-language bulletin issued months ago says he may use a passport from Saudi Arabia, Canada or Trinidad.

Pakistan seeks public help to capture top al-Qaida operative, 5 others
Associated Press
Aug. 18, 2004 07:15 AM
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Pakistan published photos Wednesday of six terror suspects, including a top al-Qaida operative accused of masterminding two attempts to assassinate the president, and offered large rewards for information leading to their arrests.
The advertisement published in the country's leading newspapers carried a photograph of Abu Faraj al-Libbi, a Libyan accused by President Gen. Pervez Musharraf of being behind two failed attempts on his life.
Musharraf escaped unhurt in both attacks in December, when terrorists tried to blow up his motorcade on a road near the capital, Islamabad. The first attack did not injure anybody, but 17 people died in the second attack.
Since then, Pakistani police and security agencies have been looking for al-Libbi and other suspects believed responsible for the two attacks.
On Wednesday, Pakistan offered a reward of $345,000 each for information leading to the arrest of al-Libbi, believed to be a top al-Qaida operative, and Amjad Hussain, who is best known as Amjad Farooqi, a Pakistani militant who also allegedly played key role in the two attacks.
Four other suspects whose photos were published in the newspapers were Mati-ur-Rahman, Qari Ehsan, Omar Aqdas and a man identified as Mansoor with an alias Chota Ibrahim. It was not immediately clear why those four were being sought and differing rewards were offered for their arrests.
The advertisement gave no details about the nature of charges, saying only that the men are "most wanted terrorists" and "wanted for acts of terrorism."
The latest government move came a day after the father of an alleged al-Qaida computer expert filed a lawsuit challenging what he called the illegal detention of his son, who was captured last month.
Mohammed Naeem Noor Khan was captured by Pakistani intelligence agents July 13 in the eastern city of Lahore, and a search of his computers uncovered surveillance documents of five financial institutions in the United States, prompting a terror alert in three U.S. cities.
Later, Khan led police to a hide-out of Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, a Tanzanian al-Qaida wanted for the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in east Africa. Ghailani was captured July 25 after a 12-hour shootout in eastern industrial city of Gujrat.
Babar Awan, a defense lawyer, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Khan's father has filed a lawsuit in a court at Rawalpindi, near the capital, Islamabad, "against illegal detention of his son."
"Whatever the allegation against the boy may be, he has a right to be defended through a counsel of his own choice," Awan said.
He said Khan's family had learned about his detention only through the media.
"We don't know why and where he (Khan) is being held."
Awan said the court has yet to act on the petition of Khan's father, a flight attendant with Pakistan International Airlines.
Under Pakistani laws, such lawsuits are usually admitted for hearing, and the government is asked to explain reasons for holding any particular suspect. A law also gives the government the right to detain any terror suspect for up to one year
