Article dated October 30 2002 By Syed Saleem Shahzad "KARACHI - Ever since the frenzied shootout last month on September 11 in Karachi there have been doubts over whether Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the self-proclaimed head of al-Qaeda's military committee, died in the police raid on his apartment. <snip> Now it has emerged that Kuwaiti national Khalid Shaikh Mohammed did indeed perish in the raid, but his wife and child were taken from the apartment and handed over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), in whose hands they remain. " Asia Times is Hong Kong based and not prone to Fox style fact checking. This could be a very serious set-back even by Ari's mendaciously low standards. A dead man is supposed to have been arrested this weekend. Was he dug up for this purpose or what? See if you can get these people to realise they may be sitting on a great story. I have already (politely) asked for them to confirm if they screwed up or if (shock) the Bush administration is lying yet again. [EMAIL PROTECTED] More on this BIG, BIG LIE from this

Major Catch, Critical Time (The New York Times, Mar. 2, 2003) Of all the milestones in the Bush dictatorship's 18-month campaign against terrorism, the apprehension of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, possibly the most fearsome of Osama bin Laden's chief lieutenants, came at a critical juncture. Dictator Bush's critics have been complaining that his focus on President Saddam Hussein had distracted the nation from the war against Al Qaeda. We May Never know For
Sure
Pakistani police captured eight suspects alive
and killed two in three raids on homes in a middle-class suburb of Karachi that
triggered a four-hour battle with rifles, grenades and tear-gas. Pakistani
police officers at the scene initially insisted that one of the dead men was an
Arab, naming him as Khalid bin Mohammed.
Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, who was born in Kuwait, is known to have been in Karachi this year. He was interviewed there in June by al-Jazeera, the Arabic television network, in the company of Binalshibh. On Saturday, US officials told the Washington Post newspaper that they did not believe that the dead man was Mohammed. On Sunday, Condoleeza Rice, the US national security adviser, told ABC News: "I wouldn't rule anything out here, but I think that we'll just wait and see how this unfolds. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2002/09/16/wpak116.xml A chilling inheritance of terror By Syed Saleem Shahzad KARACHI - Ever since the frenzied shootout last month on September 11 in Karachi there have been doubts over whether Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the self-proclaimed head of al-Qaeda's military committee, died in the police raid on his apartment. Certainly, another senior al-Qaeda figure, Ramzi Binalshibh, widely attributed as being the coordinator of the September 11 attacks on the United States a year earlier, was taken alive and handed over to the US. The latest information is that he is on a US warship somewhere in the Gulf. Now it has emerged that Kuwaiti national Khalid Shaikh Mohammed did indeed perish in the raid, but his wife and child were taken from the apartment and handed over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), in whose hands they remain.

huh.
There are conflicting reports Sunday over who
has custody of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the September
11 terrorist attacks who was arrested in Pakistan Saturday.
Some Pakistani officials say he was turned over to U.S. officials and taken outside the country for questioning. But Pakistan's interior minister says Pakistani officials continue to hold him inside Pakistan. He says officials have no intention of handing him over to anyone until they interrogate him about the nature of his activities on Pakistani soil. From TIME

Wiping the sting of tear gas from his eyes,
the Pakistani police officer surveyed the carnage in a grimy Karachi apartment
last Sep-tember 11th. After a four-hour gunfight, one al-Qaeda member, Ramzi
Binalshibh, was in handcuffs and two other terrorists lay dead on the floor. A
female fbi agent crouched down to examine the blood-smeared bodies. Suddenly,
she smiled and, to the surprise of the Pakistani cop, bounded over and gave him
a kiss. "Do you know who you've got?" she asked. "You've killed Khalid Shaikh
Mohammed."
< snip > But a fingerprint check later revealed that the dead man on the floor of the Karachi apartment wasn't Mohammed. The fbi was almost as crestfallen as the Pakistani cop dreaming of how he would spend his piece of the $25 million reward offered by the U.S. Government for Mohammed's capture. http://www.time.com/time/asia/covers/1030127/ksm.html |
