...supposed to be monitored by correctional staff. But a report by the Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General released last month faulted the bureau for not properly screening inmate mail and phone conversations at ADX Florence and other facilities. It confirmed reports that after 9/11, Mohammed Salameh, one of the 1993 World Trade Center bombers, wrote a letter praising Osama bin Laden that was published in Arabic newspapers. Salameh and two of his accomplices, also at ADX, mailed out at least 90 unmonitored letters between 2002 and 2004. The recipients included Islamic extremists with links to suspects...
...State Department began firing off cables to their overseas posts asking for leads. One difficulty investigators face in tracing suspicious links is that there seem to be so many. Among their top priorities, however, is looking into one of Leavenworth's 1,867 inmates: Mohammed Salameh, who is serving a life sentence for his involvement in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center in New York City that killed six people and injured more than 1,000.

The camp is a no-go area for Yasser Arafat's police. Salameh swerved into Balata's narrow streets and disappeared. Soon after, the police found the truck abandoned, but Salameh had melted...
Fadi Dawish, 28, is behind the counter of his grocery store, counting change in almost total darkness. He gets only a few hours of electricity a day, just like the other crumbling shops and dwellings along Salameh Street in Beirut's Sabra refugee camp, where smelly piles of garbage sit uncollected and the water supply swims with disease. Even when the lights are on, Dawish has to strain as he adds up the day's receipts because of the deep shrapnel gash over his left eye from Israel's onslaught against Palestinians in Lebanon 19 years ago.
