Khan’s cooperation is expected to help with other war crimes cases at Guantanamo, one involving five men held there who are charged with planning and aiding the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Colin Powell was right, in my opinion, that Donald Trump was not qualified to be President. Republics should recognize that Trump’s brand is seriously damaged.

With respect to the missing 340 ml of Ames anthrax that was never irradiated, can Iyman Faris include in his book whether he delivered to and from Battelle in Ohio and Frederick, Maryland? Is it possible to pre-order his book?

Prosecutors said in court papers that Faris traveled to Pakistan and Afghanistan in late 2000 and met with Osama bin Laden and other senior leaders of Al Qaeda, including Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, who is widely regarded as a key planner of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Government officials said Mohammed told Faris that Al Qaeda was planning two more attacks in New York City and Washington, including the destruction of the Brooklyn Bridge.
In Pakistan, the prosecutors said, Faris helped Qaeda leaders research the use of ultralight airplanes and, during a trip to Karachi in late 2001,

“Tracing Suspects Back To Mohammed
Back in 2003, an Ohio truck driver had been sent to attack the Brooklyn Bridge. When it became clear that the bridge was too difficult a target, the suspect contacted the person who had sent him. Authorities traced that communication to none other than Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.”
“The information went right back to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed,” says Mitch Silber, the author of The Al-Qaeda Factor and intelligence chief at the New York Police Department. “Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was a very hands-on manager.”

“FBI agents had listened in on the telephone call between Khan’s father in Baltimore and a house in Columbus, Ohio, where three suspicious men lived. They soon determined that one of them was an Ohio truck driver named Iyman Faris, who had already come up on their radar screen but who seemed fairly innocuous. But now the FBI agents heard the elder Khan tell Faris that the money he had had given him was strictly for business. It seemed an odd call.
One investigator described it: “That was one of those moments where you say, ‘ What the hell are they talking about?’ We knew it was code, but not for what. But we knew it was something bad. We knew that it connected two bad dudes, and we were thinking — this can’t be good.”

The spores were sent to this morning by Federal Express. Please let me know when you
get them. Also, keep me posted on your tests with them, so, if we need to, we can plan a trip up there
for next week. Remember, avoid vortexing and vigorously shaking them. If it seems as if the spores I
sent you are clumped a bit at the top, then take the spores you need from about midway down into the
suspension after you resuspend them.

He also worked for Yowell Transportation. But Yowell did not carry “U.S. Mail”

The Washington Post reported that, in addition to working for Yowell Transportation, Faris “operated an unincorporated firm from his Columbus home, Kashmir Transport Service, hauling general freight, metal, building materials, coal, food, paper, machinery, mail and agricultural products across state lines.”55 Court filings add that KSM considered exploiting Faris’ access to commercial trucks as the men talked about “trucking routes and deliveries for airport cargo planes.” KSM told Faris that he was particularly “interested in cargo planes because they would hold ‘more weight and more fuel.’”56 Again supplementing the government’s account, The Washington Post reported that Faris made “regular deliveries to an air cargo company at the [Columbus] airport” while working at Yowell.57
