The next recorded event in his life was his marriage in 1996. And that's about the last definite date, aside from reports from the Pembroke Pines mosque that he attended prayer services there between 1995 and 1997, but those dates are highly suspect, since it seems the Pembroke Pines mosque leader had his memory "refreshed" in advance by Padilla's ex-wife last year -- I would guess right after 9/11, when Hassoun, the second suspect arrested last week was originally questioned. Someone (or Padilla himself) may have asked his wife to cover Padilla's tracks for that 95-97 time period, for whatever reason. It could be because Padilla was in OKC, or it could be because he was involved in some other illegal activity in connection with the Fort Lauderdale mosque.
