...investigation began about a year ago when New York State police working in Buffalo's large Yemeni community got a tip about a group of men who had allegedly traveled to Afghanistan in 2001. The cops notified the Buffalo FBI, and Peter Ahearn, special agent in charge, put the entire Buffalo Joint Terrorism Task Force on the case. By analyzing travel and Customs records, conducting interviews and doing old-fashioned surveillance, investigators zeroed in on five young Muslims in the Buffalo suburb of Lackawanna--all U.S.-born Yemenis--and three Yemeni-American men outside the U.S., identified only...

"You can't help but feel that you don't deserve it. You're an impostor, impersonating...
...that they were hiding their true weapons capability. Ritter's many critics - including his former unscom boss Richard Butler, who has called his current notions "crap" - charge that he has inexplicably gone soft on Saddam. The fbi, Ritter claims, is even investigating him on suspicion of being an Iraqi agent. "I've never given Iraq a clean bill of health," he says angrily, noting that although he accepted the use of a car and driver during the recent trip to Baghdad, the Iraqis picked up no other expenses.
