Ibrahim Hussein Abdel Hadi Eidarous, 42, and Adel Mohamed Abdul Almagid Bary, 39, who are accused of transmitting faxes claiming responsibility for the blast, bring the total number of suspects in the attack currently in custody to eight...

That perception gives Bin Laden a steady supply of funds and recruits, despite U.S. attempts to put the squeeze on his international network.
