This has been all over the blogosphere but this is chilling;

"You know what!" Mohammed said as we walked down. "You would make the perfect terrorist. I mean, look at yourself! You are young, intelligent, highly-educated, well-organised, you speak good English, you live in London, and you are single."

He went on: "You remind me in a sense of brother Atta." The comparison with Mohamed Atta, leader of the September 11 hijackers, would have been in his eyes a huge compliment


And;

Summoning every thread of experience and courage, I looked Mohammed in the eye and asked: "Did you do it?" The reference to September 11 was implicit. Mohammed responded with little fanfare: "I am the head of the al-Qaeda military committee," he began, "and Ramzi is the co-ordinator of the Holy Tuesday operation. And yes, we did it."

He went on: "About 21/2 years before the holy raids on Washington and New York, the military committee held a meeting during which we decided to start planning for a martyrdom operation inside America.

"As we were discussing targets, we first thought of striking at a couple of nuclear facilities but decided against it for fear it would go out of control." I was dumbfounded.


We have both of them in custody and are probably gleaning alot of intelligence. We would've had more if the Pakistanis didn't leak info on his capture.
