That's exactly what happened in October 2000 in the southern port of Aden, when an al-Qaeda suicide squad drove a boat laden with explosives into the destroyer U.S.S. Cole, killing 17 American sailors. Earlier this month, Pakistani officials arrested Ramzi Binalshibh, an al-Qaeda operative from Yemen who U.S. investigators believe helped plan the Sept. 11 attacks. U.S. officials also say al-Qaeda used Yemen's honey trade as a cover to raise cash and smuggle weapons...
...great, but he's not always on the side of those who claim to act in his name. Among the men detained in Karachi was one of the world's most wanted individuals: Ramzi Binalshibh, a 30-year-old Yemeni accused of involvement in the Sept. 11 attacks. Although Binalshibh was not among the hijackers, it wasn't for lack of trying. A roommate in Hamburg, Germany, of Mohamed Atta, ringleader of the Sept. 11 plot, Binalshibh had tried and failed four times to get a visa to the U.S. Investigators have long believed he was meant...
...Justice Finds Binalshibh Senior al-Qaeda operative Ramzi Binalshibh, alleged to have coordinated the September 11 attacks, has been transferred to U.S. custody following his capture in Pakistan last week.

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...
...with Washington for more agents, more linguists, more clerical help. He got nowhere. O'Neill was a legend both in New York, where he hung out at famous watering holes like Elaine's, and in the counterterrorism world. Since 1995, when he helped coordinate the arrest in Pakistan of Ramzi Yousef, the man responsible for the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, O'Neill had been one of the FBI's leading figures in the fight against terrorism. Brash, slick and ambitious, he had spent the late 1990s working closely with Clarke and the handful of other top officials...
