...Rauf, who is believed to have two daughters, aged two and eight months, is known to have shuttled between his base in Pakistan and Kandahar and Paktia in Afghanistan. Until 2002, he lived in Birmingham, England, but left after the murder of his uncle, which was never solved.

U.K. intelligence officers are now expected to fly to Pakistan to interrogate Rauf and hope to bring him back to the U.K.; however, there...
...Duty Depravity "A Soldier's Shame" [July 17], on the rape and murder of Abeer Qasim Hamza al-Janabi and the killing of her family members by U.S. soldiers, displayed insensitivity and poor judgment.

...other atrocities in the past two decades strongly suggest that the homegrown jihadists were not acting alone. "There is an al-Qaeda link," says the British official. A possible connection may be Rashid Rauf, a Briton of Pakistani descent who left for Pakistan a few years ago, after the murder of his uncle. Rauf, whose brother Tayib was one of those arrested in Birmingham, was detained in Pakistan before the police raids in Britain. Rashid Rauf's arrest was one of the factors that precipitated the decision by the British authorities to roll up the network, on the assumption that...
...George W. Bush warned against false comfort, saying although he believes the U.S. is more secure than it was before 9/11, "we're still not completely safe." Worst of all, the Brits, who can normally be counted on to snuff out hysterics, warned that we had narrowly avoided "mass murder on an unimaginable scale...
