In a 1998 interview with ABC News, bin Laden spoke warmly of both Yousef and Wali Khan Amin Shah, another convicted member of the Bojinka plot. Yousef and bin Laden moved in the same circles during the fight in Afghanistan against Soviet forces, where Yousef first met Abdurajak Janjalani, the leader of the Philippine terrorist group Abu Sayyaf.

The sparsely narrated episodes let the subjects' own actions tell their sometimes praiseworthy, sometimes embarrassing stories.
