He told investigators that Mr. bin al-Shibh, ] referred to by his nom de guerre, Obeida, was a prominent ] figure there. I found this article of interest because it's information that's been coming to light from the trial of Motassadeq, a suspected member of the Hamburg terrorist cell. As usual, there is no reference of the terrorists using steganography to communicate -- instead, it was personal meetings, phone calls, voice-mail messages, and the like. I saw also in this article that now I have yet another spelling of confirmed cell-member "Binalshibh's" name, as "bin al-Shibh," plus now I also have to research the name "Obeida," too? Argh. Atta, Motassadeq , Binalshibh, Tomaytos, and Tomahtoes |
