...Four times that day he phoned from a nearby booth to Ayyad's office at AlliedSignal, calls that Salameh's lawyer, Robert Precht, insists concerned "a family matter." Moreover, the complaint states, sometime around Feb. 15, Ayyad rented a red General Motors sedan and listed "Salameh" as a second driver. A Ryder truck-rental employee says that on Feb. 23, when Salameh rented the yellow van believed to have been used in the bombing, he was accompanied by a man driving a red General Motors sedan...
Investigators were also unsure about the exact motives, identity and whereabouts of the actual bombmaker and the driver or drivers who wheeled the explosive-filled van into the garage. (It is entirely possible that pieces of his or their bodies lie amid the other wreckage at the bottom of the crater.) Even so, the incomplete tale was already the most fascinating real-life detective story in years...

Like Salameh, Nosair worshipped at Al-Salam Mosque. The address where Elgabrowny was arrested is also listed on Salameh's 1992 driver's license and has been used by Nosair. The New York Times reported on Saturday that authorities had found several false passports in Elgabrowny's apartment, including a Nicaraguan passport made out in Nosair's name and dated eight months after Nosair had been sent to Attica. Officials speculated that Elgabrowny...
