Mentors Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Pakistan's army says it has found in South Waziristan the passport of a man linked to two hijackers involved in the 11 September 2001 attacks in the US. The passport of Said Bahaji, a German of Moroccan origin, was among weapons, documents and jihadi literature seized by troops in the conflict zone. The army showed the document to a group of reporters during a trip to the area. The BBC's Orla Guerin says there is no way of knowing if this passport is real or was found where they say it was. Our correspondent was part of a team of journalists who were taken to South Waziristan by the military. Pakistan's army is carrying out a major offensive in the area against the Taliban and al-Qaeda militants and the region is generally out of bounds for journalists. Said Bahaji is suspected to be a member of the Hamburg cell which planned the 9/11 attacks. He is believed to have been a close associate of Mohammad Atta, the leader of 9/11 hijackers. He fled Germany shortly before the attacks and remains at large. Mr Bahaji has been charged in his absence in connection with several thousand murders committed in the attacks. Correspondents says if the document is authentic, this will be the first time a direct link can be established between the Taliban in South Waziristan and the 9/11 attacks. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8333254.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doxx Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 No way of knowing if its real!? What bullshit. Any currently valid (mean to say modern) passport can be authenticated. Tossers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Munchmaster Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 So, how is he connected to Ben Laden? I think you mean Bin Laden. Ben is one of Bins younger brothers and works for the family business in Saudi. As far as I know he isn't involved in any terrorist activity.

Sometimes there is total anarchy on this board. It is comforting to know that some actually read the postings that they are commenting on !
