MARCH 31, 2003 : (USA : NY : [UZAIR] PARACHA DETAINED FOR ACTING AS COVER FOR AL QAEDA OPERATIVE MAJID KHAN- WHO IS ASSOCIATED WITH SIDDIQUI - See BALTIMORE "CELL?", IMG) Details of the alleged smuggling plot came to light in the case of Uzair Parachas, 23, the son of IMG's co-owner. Parachas has been detained by the FBI since being picked up in the IMG [International Management Group] office March 31, shortly after he arrived from Pakistan. He was charged this month with acting as cover for one of [Khalid Sheikh] Mohammed's Baltimore-based associates, an Al Qaeda operative whom sources identified as Majid Khan.

FEBRUARY 2003 : (AL QAEDA'S KHALID SHAIKH MOHAMMED aka "KSM" MEETS WITH THE PARACHAS - See SAIFULLAH PARACHA & UZAIR/OZAIR PARACHA) Days before he was captured in Pakistan in March, suspected 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed met in Karachi with the owner of a W. 35th St., [NY] clothing importing company and his son, law enforcement sources said. Al Qaeda's No. 3 man offered to invest $200,000 in International Management Group in exchange, federal authorities now believe, for access to IMG's Port Newark-bound shipping containers, sources say.
Mohammed "is obsessed with attacking the United States, and New York has always been at the top of the list for Al Qaeda," said one law enforcement source. After learning of the plot, federal authorities began monitoring IMG's containers, though sources said no weapons were found in them. -- "Rag trade terror plot: Al Qaeda sought Garment Center tie," by GREG B.
