As part of a plea agreement with prosecutors, the 48-year-old Egyptian-born
man, Ali Mohamed, who served in the Army for three years in the late 1980s,
admitted to conspiring with bin Laden and others to murder Americans all
over the world.
     Mohamed pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges related to the 1998
bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa, which killed more than 200 people,
including a dozen Americans.
     He is the first person to plead guilty in connection with the bombings
and is an important element in the Justice Department¹s efforts to build a
case that bin Laden and others were responsible for the attacks.
     He said he conspired along with bin Laden and others to attack the U.S.
military in Somalia and Saudi Arabia, to kill Americans at unspecified
embassies, and to conceal the conspiracy.
     He was led into the courtroom in leg shackles, and stood in his prison
blue uniform as he pleaded guilty to five counts.
     ³The objective of all of this was to attack any Western target in the
Middle East,² Mohamed said during his plea, according to The Associated
Press.
Worldwide Terrorism Conspiracy
Mohamed said bin Laden plays a key role in a massive conspiracy by members
of an Islamic jihad to target U.S. military installations and embassies
worldwide.
     U.S. officials said they have evidence Mohamed had ties to bin Laden
within a year or two after he was honorably discharged from the Army in
1989.
     Mohamed also admitted he helped move bin Laden from Pakistan to Sudan
and trained members of a terrorist organization linked to bin Laden, al
Qaeda.
     He was among 17 people named in an indictment that resulted from the
Aug. 7, 1998, bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, which
the United States accuses bin Laden of masterminding.
     Five other persons listed in the indictment are in federal custody,
three more are undergoing extradition proceedings in Britain, and eight
others are still at large, including bin Laden.
     Mohamed faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without possibility
of parole.
Was in Army Special Forces
    The former sergeant, ironically, had taught U.S. Special Forces troops
at Fort Bragg, N.C. A former Egyptian military officer, Mohamed was living
in the United States as a resident alien when he joined the Army.
     His duties included teaching soldiers in the special forces about
Muslim culture.
     Mohamed was taken into custody in October 1998 on charges of lying to
federal agents investigating bin Laden¹s network.
     He had lied about his connections to bin Laden and associated
organizations and to the Department of Defense about his previous
associations and travel history, according to charges filed by the Justice
Department in 1998.
     Investigators have said videotapes of Mohamed training at a special
warfare center at Fort Bragg and classified military documents he had access
to turned up in some very suspicious places.
     The FBI found them in the home of Sayyid Nosair, a suspected terrorist
later convicted in a plot to blow up American landmarks.
