saag.org Interesting link. The Police authorities allege that the ISI officer, who led the raiding group,deliberately kept up heavy firing without any need for it in the hope that this would either kill Ramzi Binalshibh and Khalid Sheikh Mohammad or enable them to escape One of them got away? (Khalid Sheikh Mohammad) <<damn!>> Nobody else mentioned that either. Here is the BBC story for example. news.bbc.co.uk Indeed it looks as if an important fish slipped the net.. 14. Western media had in recent weeks quoted a senior U.S. intelligence official as saying that if he had to decide between catching Osama bin Laden and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, he might prefer the latter."Bin Laden is unquestionably the leader, the symbol and the recruiting poster," the official said. "But it's looking more and more like Khalid actually makes things happen." They also quoted French terrorism expert and U.N. Security Council consultant Roland Jacquard as saying:: "He is probably the only man who knows all the pieces of the puzzle." 15. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed also uses the aliases Abdul Majid, Salim Ali, Ashrai Refaat, Nabith Renin, Khalid Abdul Waddod and Fahd Bin Abdullah Bin Khalid. The police authorities of the Philippines had described him as a Kuwaiti-born and U.S.-educated Pakistani. If he is definitively established to be a Pakistani, this would show that 9/11 was masterminded by a Pakistani assisting bin Laden.It may be recalled that Sheikh Omar, who has already been convicted in the Pearl murder case and has appealed against it, was reported to have told the Karachi police that during a visit to Afghanistan before 9/11 he had come to know of the plans for the terrorist strikes in the US and had immediately informed Lt.Gen.Ehsanul Haq, the present DG of the ISI, who was at that time Corps Commander, Peshawar.
