...receipt connects him to the hijackers, and he was inquiring about lessons well after the others had finished theirs. These same officials wonder if he may have been part of another radical cell. They now suspect that the 20th hijacker was meant to be RAMZI BINALSHIBH, 29, a Yemeni who once shared an apartment with ringleader Mohamed Atta. On Sept. 21, Germany issued a warrant for Binalshibh, naming him as an accomplice in the attacks. U.S. investigators believe Binalshibh tried to enter the U.S. to take his place among the hijackers but was denied a visa for unknown reasons...
...recognize the Taliban government, Saudi Arabia is in the hot seat. The U.S. military, which encamped in the nation during the Gulf War, has still not left. King Fahd welcomes it, but fundamentalists are furious--to say nothing of Osama bin Laden, a native Saudi and son of a Yemeni immigrant. Things got touchy last week when the U.S. asked for permission to launch strikes from a new Saudi air base and the Saudis, for now at least, balked. If a war places Saudi oil reserves at risk, the U.S. may dig in deeper, perhaps lighting fundamentalist fires...
...Australia, as well as local Bedouin tribesmen - recently completed another field season. But they estimate that it will take another 10 to 15 years just to uncover all the buildings at Mahram Bilqis and the surrounding pathways - and even then most of the site will remain unexplored. Eventually, the Yemeni government plans to restore and reconstruct the sanctuary in hopes of transforming it into what Glanzman calls "an eighth wonder of the world" - a tourist attraction comparable to the Pyramids or the Acropolis. (Yemen's political instability, though, makes that scenario unlikely anytime soon.) It also intends to petition unesco...
Badmarsh & Shri are an unlikely team: the Yemeni-Indian Ali, 34, grew up in East London listening to black dance music before becoming a DJ; Sriram, who moved to London from India in 1997, plays bass and has tastes that range from Rush to Herbie Hancock. After meeting in 1998, they decided to record together--Ali spinning and mixing, Sriram laying down bass lines and melodies--and within a month they had finished Dancing Drums. "Shri became my human sampler," Ali says. "Instead of sampling from vinyl, I sampled from...
...beginning, the U.S.-Yemeni cultural chasm seemed comic. "Sometimes the Yemenis were completely baffled by our requests," says a U.S. official. Such as the one for mud. Last autumn the FBI said it would pay the Yemenis $1 million for a bargeful of mud from beneath the explosion site. After some resistance and suspicion, the Yemenis smiled, pocketed the $1 million and let the dredging begin. The FBI shipped the mud off to Dubai, and agents sifted through it for forensic evidence--pieces of the boat and the two bombers that could provide important clues. Now there are no longer...
