Top al-Qaida man dies of heart attack
THE JERUSALEM POST Sep. 28, 2004

The alleged top al-Qaida operative in Lebanon, who was arrested 10 days ago after authorities uncovered a plot to bomb embassies of Italy and Ukraine, and kill diplomats, died of a heart attack Monday, hospital officials and the Interior Ministry said.

Ismail Mohammed al-Khatib, in his early 50s, was rushed from police custody to a government hospital, but doctors were unable to save his life, hospital officials said.

Al-Khatib was one of two top operatives of al-Qaida organization captured by Lebanese authorities along with 10 other suspects earlier this month.

I wouldn't want to be in his shoes right about now. Not because of the heart attack, but for all the explaining he's going to have to do....and not to Allah, either!
