...tried to provoke communications and movement that the U.S. could monitor. But the balls stayed in the air only a few days. Last week word leaked out that the captive was Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, a thirtyish Saudi and a senior al-Qaeda lieutenant with a taste for naval terrorism. He is suspected of masterminding the attack on the U.S.S. Cole in 2000 and at least two other, abortive plots against Western ships. FBI agents also believe he trained the suicide bombers who carried out the 1998 East African embassy bombings. Al-Nashiri may not be a household name...
...more ambitious attacks. When the first JI cell was broken up in December 2001 by Singaporean and Malaysian officials, it was alarmingly close to executing a major strike on U.S. and other Western embassies in Singapore and Jakarta, as well as launching a U.S.S.

...soldiers are boarding boats for searches off southern Thailand. Even the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) has left nothing to chance. In late December more than 24,000 scouts will arrive in Thailand to take part in the 20th World Scout Jamboree, to be held at a naval base. More than 1,000 officers from Thailand's army, navy and police force will provide security during the two-week long Jamboree. "Though we do not consider it very likely, we have done our utmost to prevent a terrorist attack," says Lutz Kuhnen, assistant director of WOSM's risk...

Last week word leaked out that the captive was Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, a thirtyish Saudi and a senior al-Qaeda lieutenant with a taste for naval terrorism. He is suspected of masterminding the seagoing attack on the U.S.S. Cole in 2000 and at least two other, abortive plots against Western ships.
