Eva, somebody posted the sketch of John Doe #2 beside a picture of a man named Asmath, who was arrested in Trenton, N.J. at the apartment where they suspected the Anthrax was mailed from. If someone could find that thread and repost it. I am convinced that it is the same guy. What I want someone to do now is to find out if Asmath was ever in Okla. City. I may send an e-mail to Jayna and see if she has any thing on Asmath. He's a dead ringer for the sketch.

Might that be the subject MOHAMMED JAWEED ASMATH described in this article? If so, since he was in custody, there should be not only photographs of him, but also a set of fingerprints should have been taken. Unless, of course, he was an FBI employee or agent or a spook in other government service.

But I believe the real John Doe II who was with McVeigh to now be deceased, probably killed by his US government employers.

ALBADAR AL-HAMZI, 34

A DOCTOR in his final year of a five-year residency in San Antonio, Texas, he may prove to be one of the best sources of information if he talks. He is one of four being held as firm suspects, so-called material witnesses.

He did not go to work on Sept 11 morning. He purchased tickets for at least one of the hijackers on American Airlines Flight 77, which crashed into the Pentagon. Two suspected hijackers on that flight - Nawaf Al-Hamzi and Salem Al-Hamzi - have the same last name.

Al-Hamzi may also have at one point used as an alias the name used by another hijacker on that flight, Khalid Al-Midhar. The FBI now thinks he is alive and that his identity was taken by someone else on the plane. The FBI had already been looking for Al-Midhar as an associate of Osama bin Laden.

MOHAMMED JAWEED ASMATH, 47, and AYUB ALI KHAN, 51

THEY were pulled off a train in Texas heading towards San Antonio the day after the terrorist attacks. They were carrying box-cutters similar to those used in the attacks, about US$20,000 (S$35,000) in cash and hair dye. They may have been heading to link up with Al-Hamzi and may have been part of an aborted or failed hijacking.

The two had been on board a jet which left New Jersey about the same time as the hijacked planes. Their flight was to continue to San Antonio after a stop in St Louis, but was grounded.

[N.B.: Note also the Texas-area business connections of Osama bin-Laden's deceased brother Salem bin-Laden to the Texas area via his business connections through his part ownership in Houston-area SPX airport and the Arbusto multinational oil holding company and his association with Texas middleman James Bath. The bin-Laden efforts to emplace agents in place and create *legends* and workable false identities for them may have been in place for very long periods, even decades, running clear backn to the period when the bin-Ladens were CIA assets fighting the infidel Soviet invaders in Afghanistan- it wasn't until the US *defiled* the Moslem holy places in Saudi Arabia/Mecca during George Bush's 1991 Gulf War against Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait that bin-Laden became disgusted with his partnership derived from at least some common cause with some US interests.]

An excellent color photo of Asmath is at this link:

You need to scroll down about three and one half pages into the article to see the picture.

I will make sure Jayna Davis gets a copy of the picture for her review. You are correct about the similarities , in the eyes especially.

There were up to seven ME John Does and Asmath could look like the FBI's John Doe #2 sketch. Also the JD #2 sketch could be a composite of several of the John Does (including possibly Asmath) with features from each of several ME JD suspects combined in one sketch-sometimes the FBI does this on purpose.
