<<He seemed OK to me in all respects.>>

Thanks. That doesn't prove anything, of course, but it's some indication.

Re. being a British spy:

Separately on Thursday, a reporter for The Times of London, Tim Reid, wrote that he had met Mr. Udeen in a jail in Kandahar, Afghanistan, where fleeing Taliban forces had left him in early January 2002. Mr. Reid wrote that Mr. Udeen said he had been arrested by the Taliban, during a journey across Afghanistan to Iran, because he carried a British passport.

"We were praying for the Americans to come," he reportedly said. Instead, according to Mr. Reid, Mr. Udeen was arrested when Central Intelligence Agency officers arrived in Kandahar and took charge of the prisoners the Taliban left behind.

"If I came here to fight, I wouldn't have been thrown in prison," Mr. Udeen reportedly said in 2002.
