...they saying where they took Mohammed after his arrest. He is likely to end up in VIP detention, kept in isolation, like Zubaydah and Binalshibh. Mohammed faces a conga line of interrogators: U.S. military officials, the CIA, the FBI. And even if Mohammed never talks, anything found on discs, on his cell phone or in his pockets that indicates names or locations of other al-Qaeda operatives could help in finding the lower-level terrorists who look to him for command and control. Working up and down his lines of communication might prevent any attacks he was overseeing. "Clearly...
...many Algerians who live in this north London neighborhood. Prominent terror suspects have found inspiration there, including alleged shoe bomber Richard Reid, Zacarias Moussaoui, now in a U.S. prison, and Djamel Beghal, a Franco-Algerian who is now in French custody and believed to have taken orders from Abu Zubaydah, a top associate of Osama bin Laden. Some members of the alleged ricin gang are also rumored to have attended the Finsbury Park mosque. Britain may now be taking a harder line with Abu Hamza.

Saudi diplomatic sources told TIME that the capture last April of Abu Zubaydah, one of the highest-ranking al-Qaeda officials in U.S. custody, came after a detainee interrogated by Saudi authorities revealed Abu Zubaydah's whereabouts. The sources also said the U.S. Hellfire missile--equipped drones hunting terrorists in the region are operating from Saudi territory. But sources on Capitol Hill say that unless Riyadh takes further steps to crack down on Saudis believed to be financing terrorists, Congress...
...true that CIA and Pakistani agents have worked together to nab al-Qaeda senior aides such as Binalshibh and Palestinian bin Laden lieutenant Abu Zubaydah in Pakistan's big cities. But the tribal zone is a different story--a sensitive region. U.S. commandos, now mostly confined to the Afghan side of the border, are rarely allowed to raid possible mountain hideouts on the Pakistan side, whether by themselves or with Pakistani officers. Under the current delicate political climate for the government of Musharraf, say senior U.S. and Pakistani officials, that would be a mission impossible. Many of the deeply religious...
