Since July 4, additional information has come to light to back up these initial Israeli assumptions. On Sunday, July 8, the London-based daily Al Hayat, one of the Arab world's more reliable newspapers, revealed that Hesham Muhammad Ali Hadayet, the Egyptian perpetrator of the Los Angeles attack, most likely met twice with Dr. Ayman Zuwahri, one of al Qaeda's senior terror organizers, in 1995 and in 1998. (Al-Zawahiri, who was then head of the Egyptian branch of Islamic Jihad went on to become Osama bin Laden's right-hand man, following Egyptian Islamic Jihad's merger with al Qaeda. His current whereabouts are unknown.) It has also been separately reported that in Irvine, California, Hadayet had Koranic verses about jihad tacked to his apartment door. Several witnesses have said that as Hadayet carried out his attack, he shouted "God is great" in Arabic ? a common cry by the perpetrators of suicide attacks. Furthermore Hadayet ? who sent his wife and two young children to Egypt a week before the attack even though they had been due to stay in the U.S. with him to celebrate his birthday ? regularly made other "virulent anti-Israeli remarks, according to Hadayet's former employees, such as Syrian-born Abdul Zahab. These included the allegation that "Israelis are trying to destroy the Egyptian nation by sending prostitutes with AIDS to Egypt." nationalreview.com
