Padilla’s wife, Cherie Stultz, who worked with Padilla at the restaurant, also converted, taking the name Marwa. She left the job in March 1994, three months after Padilla, according to Taco Bell corporate records.

So Jose Padilla left his job in or around Dec. '93. Today's Boston Globe says Padilla disappeared after he left this job. Yesterday's Chicago Sun-Times said he went to Pakistan and Afghanistan in the early 90's. Surely he did not go until after his conversion to Islam, which would mean Dec. '93 is the earliest he could have done it. If he went to training camps in Afghanistan and/or Pakistan in Dec. '93 or so, he had plenty of time to become an explosives expert by 4/19/95, the date of the OKC bombing.

Thank you aristeides, some try to treat the American people as if we are such dummies.
