PAKISTAN Three Strikes Against Terrorism Pakistan and the U.S. scored a victory against al-Qaeda with the arrest of Ramzi Binalshibh. Two other suspected al-Qaeda members were killed and at least 10 were detained in a series of raids in Karachi. Officials believe Binalshibh, a Yemeni who belonged to al-Qaeda's Hamburg cell, helped plan the Sept. 11 attacks. He had been denied a visa to enter the U.S. four times. Germany said it would request his extradition. Elsewhere, Dutch police arrested the head of a Kurdish group suspected of links with al-Qaeda, while Italian authorities took...
...attack was claimed by the Islamic Army for the Liberation of the Holy Sites, the same group that said it bombed the American embassies in 1998. Moreover, German police investigating the Djerba incident raided the Duisberg home of a Moroccan immigrant and found the telephone number of Ramzi Binalshibh. U.S. investigators think Binalshibh, who belonged to the Hamburg al-Qaeda cell that masterminded the Sept. 11 attacks, was intended to be on one of the planes that day.

...case, the web of terror in Europe is slowly beginning to become clear. The Sept. 11 attacks, the Paris plot and the attempt to destroy Flight 63 all share a common cast of characters. Reid seems to have known Moussaoui, Beghal and Trabelsi; Moussaoui was connected to Ramzi Binalshibh, a fugitive alleged by the FBI and German authorities to have been a member of the Hamburg cell that planned the Sept. 11 attacks; Akhnouche knew them all. A French official says, "My personal theory is that all these radical Islamists have crossed paths in Afghan camps, London or often both...
...least one face is familiar to U.S. investigators: Ramzi Binalshibh, a 29-year-old Yemeni who appears wearing a red kaffiyeh, was named as an unindicted co-conspirator of Zacarias Moussaoui, the French operative arrested in August and indicted Dec. 11 for planning terrorist attacks. U.S. officials believe that Binalshibh is a hard-core suicide martyr who wanted to be the 20th hijacker. A member of the Hamburg cell led by Mohammed Atta, he unsuccessfully tried to obtain a visa to enter the U.S. to take flying lessons on four occasions in 2000. He also wired thousands of dollars...
