Do you recall the FR thread or another source I can add to this list? I'd like to link as much to each name as possible.

Here are two sources, the New York Daily News and the New York Times:

As an example of keeping a secret, government officials said yesterday that they had captured Mohammed Omar Abdel-Rahman, a son of the blind Egyptian sheik accused of inspiring the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. He was arrested several weeks ago in Quetta, Pakistan, the source said.

They had hoped to find Mr. Mohammed, but he had fled the apartment, eluding the authorities, as he had on numerous occasions. Instead, they found and arrested Muhammad Abdel Rahman, a son of Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind Egyptian cleric who in 1995 was convicted along with 10 followers for conspiring to blow up the United Nations headquarters and other New York buildings, bridges and tunnels — as an extension of the first World Trade Center attack in 1993.
